But often when the light is glaring or there are moving bushes etc... the autofocus just won't latch on.

AF usually chooses the subject with most contrast. Moving bushes in front of the sky or some bright object are very contrasty.

I am using evaluative metering and 9 point AF.. 9 Point AF seems to be more reliable than single point.

In such occasions I would use 1 point AF. Have you tried it?
