Play at Wimbledon qualifying was stopped for over an hour on Wednesday after a power outage caused the electronic line calling system to fail. Temperatures in south west London reached 33C, with forecasters expecting them to hit 37C later in the day. The All England Club said power has now been restored and play is expected to resume shortly.
