Play has resumed between Ana Ivanovic and Madison Keys at Rod Laver Arena almost an hour after they stopped for a medical emergency reportedly involving Ivanovic's coach Nigel Sears, who is Andy Murray's father-in-law.
Pam Shriver says on ESPN that Sears had told members of Ivanovic's coaching team that he was not been feeling well about a half hour before he fell in the stands.
An Associated Press reporter saw medics strap a man, who appeared to Sears, to a stretcher and place an oxygen mask on his face before carefully carrying him out of the arena as scores of spectators stood and looked on.
Ivanovic was taken off the court as medics attended to the man in the stands for about 30 minutes. Murray's match continued without interruption on Margaret Court Arena.

For the second consecutive round, a medical emergency has caused Ana Ivanovic's match to be suspended at the Australian Open.
Ivanovic won the first set against American Madison Keys 6-4 and was ahead on serve 1-0 in the second when play was stopped. Medical teams were assisting with the emergency.
After about a 10-minute delay on Rod Laver Arena, both players returned to the dressing room. The stadium announcer said play would be suspended until medical teams could fully assist an injured spectator.
On Thursday, Ivanovic's second-round match with Anastasja Sevastova was delayed for 30 minutes when a woman fell down the some stairs in the same stadium and was taken away on a stretcher in a neck brace.

No offense, Vika, but John Isner has a comment about your ''dabbing.''
Isner, originally from North Carolina, is a big fan of the Carolina Panthers, the team where the so-called dab originated, courtesy of quarterback Cam Newton.
Fans at the Australian Open have seen Victoria Azarenka displaying a version of the ''dab'' to celebrate her victories into the fourth-round.
The No. 10-seeded Isner thinks she needs to work on it.
Without being asked for a critique, Isner offered one at his post-match news conference Saturday, saying that ''(Newton) does it the best. Vika's, no offense, is not quite as good as his.''
Isner served 44 aces on Saturday to clinch a 6-7 (8), 7-6 (5), 6-2, 6-4 win over Feliciano Lopez and secure a spot in the fourth round.
He confirmed he has no plans to celebrate with a ''dab'' - ''I won't be doing that for sure,'' Isner said.

David Ferrer is back in the round of 16 at the Australian Open for the sixth consecutive year.

Ferrer broke Johnson four times in the match and never faced a break point on his own serve.
He'll next play another American, John Isner, in the fourth round.

Naomi Osaka's surprising run at Melbourne Park came to an end with a loss to two-time champion Victoria Azarenka in the third round, but the 18-year-old Japanese qualifier fully expects to be back on the big stage again soon.When asked about her future goals, Osaka replied, ''Oh, to be the No. 1 and to win a lot of Grand Slams and to play Fed Cup and then to play the Olympics and to be happy.''
That's a tall order. But Azarenka believes the big-hitting Osaka, who upset 18th-seeded Elina Svitolina in her Grand Slam main draw debut, has a bright future.
Azarenka said, ''She definitely surprised me with her play. ... I think she has a lot of potential, a lot of power. I'm sure we will see a lot more of her.''

The win moved French Open champion Wawrinka into a fourth-round match against Milos Raonic, who beat Viktor Troicki.

John Isner has aced his way back into the round of 16 at Melbourne Park, avenging a loss to 18th-seeded Feliciano Lopez in the same round on the same court four years ago.
The 10th-seeded Isner had three of his 44 aces in the last game to clinch a 6-7 (8), 7-6 (5), 6-2, 6-4 win over Lopez. Isner leads the tournament with 101 aces in three matches.
Lopez knocked Isner out of the Australian Open in a five-set, third-round match at Hisense Arena in 2012. Isner has only made the round of 16 at the tournament once before, in 2010.

Milos Raonic has dedicated his third-round victory at the Australian Open to victims of a shooting in Canada which left four people dead and at least two injured.
A gunman opened fire at the La Loche Community School in a remote aboriginal community in Saskatchewan, and at a second location.
After his win over Viktor Troicki on Saturday, the 25-year-old Canadian said, ''Today, before I stepped out on court it was a difficult day back home.''
His voice sounding emotional at times, Raonic added: ''Unfortunately in Saskatchewan in a very small community there was a shooting at a high school, so I want to take a moment and give thoughts to that community. Today's victory was for that community, and a quick recovery and all of Canada, and I'm sure the world is behind you.''

No. 13-seeded Milos Raonic has reached the fourth round at Melbourne Park for the fourth time, defeating Viktor Troicki 6-2, 6-3, 6-4 to advance.
Raonic trailed 4-1 in the third set before winning five consecutive games and the match. He set up match point with an ace, his 14th of the match, and clinched it when No. 21 Troicki hit a forehand long.
The match pitted the winners of the two Australian Open warmup tournaments - Raonic beat Roger Federer for the Brisbane International title and Troicki defeated Grigor Dimitrov in Sydney.
Last year as the No. 8-seeded player, Raonic had his best Australian Open result by reaching the quarterfinals and losing to eventual champion Novak Djokovic.

Victoria Azarenka has cruised into the fourth round with another quick victory, dispatching Japanese qualifier Naomi Osaka 6-1, 6-1 in 56 minutes.

Azarenka had 24 winners to only four for Osaka, who was making her Grand Slam main draw debut.
Azarenka said after the match, ''It wasn't easy for sure, especially when you don't know who you play. ... She's a little unpredictable and she surprised me with her game.''
Azarenka next faces Barbora Strycova, a straight-sets winner over the No. 3 seed, Garbine Muguruza earlier Saturday.

Third-seeded Garbine Muguruza has become the latest casualty in the women's draw at Melbourne Park, beaten by Barbora Strycova 6-3, 6-2 in the day's first match on Rod Laver Arena.
Muguruza misfired frequently on her groundstrokes, finishing with 32 unforced errors, and looked a bit listless throughout the match.
Since reaching last year's Wimbledon final, the Spanish player has lost in the second round of the U.S. Open and now the third round at Melbourne Park.
Strycova has only been past the third round once before in 38 Grand Slam appearances when she reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon in 2014.
No. 2 Simona Halep, No. 6 Petra Kvitova and No. 8 Venus Williams have also been eliminated from the tournament.

Johanna Konta has become the first British woman to reach the fourth round at the Australian Open in 29 years.
Konta beat No. 8 Venus Williams in straight sets in the first round and on Saturday had another straight-sets win over Denisa Allertova, 6-2, 6-2.
The 47th-ranked Konta is making her debut in the main draw at Melbourne Park but has shown few jitters and a fighting spirit as she moves through the draw.
Konta said she knew what to expect from Allertova, who stretched her to three sets in the first round at last year's French Open.
The 22-year-old Konta was born in Australia and became a British citizen in 2012, making her the first British woman to reach the round of 16 at Melbourne Park since Jo Durie in 1987.
