India's Prajnesh Gunneswaran said he struggled a bit with the sun and that it cost him a lot of games at the Australian Open, ending his maiden Grand Slam appearance in a first round exit.

Prajnesh lost to American Frances Tiafoe 7-6 (9-7) 6-3 6-3 yesterday. "It was a good experience. I played a good match, had chances in all sets. I struggled a bit with the sun, [it's] different in Australia for some reason. Found it hard to adjust the serve from one side of the court," Prajnesh said.
