An AP analysis shows that it is feeling hotter and hotter at Grand Slam tournaments in recent decades, reflecting the climate change seen in heat waves around the globe this summer. Week 2 at the U.S. Open is pushing players to the limit.
Soaked with sweat as the temperature neared 95 degrees Fahrenheit on the hottest day at this year's U.S. Open, 2021 champion Daniil Medvedev walked slowly to towel off between points of his victory Wednesday, looked into a courtside camera and issued what sounded like a mix between a warning and a plea."The only thing that is a little bit, let's call it dangerous, is that the question is: How far could we go?" Medvedev, a 27-year-old Russian seeded No.
Medvedev used an inhaler during a second-set changeover Wednesday while being looked at by a doctor, who checked his breathing with a stethoscope. Rublev leaned back on his sideline chair as if he would rather be anywhere else. Medvedev said he felt dizzy afterward and that both he and Rublev rubbed their faces raw by toweling off so frequently. Rublev described feeling his heart racing between points.
One unintended result: The shadows can make it hard to see the tennis balls as they zip through the air. "I mean, it was hot, but because I did my preparation in Florida - I mean, what can be worse than Florida? I mean, in July and June, you know. Not, like, overall," said Sabalenka, who has dropped a total of just 21 games through five matches over the past 1 1/2 weeks. "So I think that's really me today to stay strong and really get tired because of the heat."
