Belgium's David Goffin retained his Kooyong Classic title after winning a one-set shoot-out in the final against Ivo Karlovic.
Goffin, who will be the 11th seed at Melbourne Park next week, wrapped up the title by winning a tie-break after the score had reached 6-6.
The giant Karlovic went long with a service return after 32 minutes of a contest curtailed by wet weather.
Both players and the umpire appeared confused as to what to do next when the set reached 6-6 but after a brief negotiation, they proceeded to play the tie-break with the Belgian quickly taking a 5-0 lead.
It was a rare half an hour without rain on Friday in the Melbourne suburb, which has hosted the exhibition event since the Australian Open moved from Kooyong to the centre of the city in the late 1980s.
