Funnily enough, it would only spell certain doom for Rublev given the first two sets.

To be these conditions are so brutal. It’s incredible they can out there and play 5 sets at all. I couldn’t imagine how tough it must be. That will affect the level of tennis no doubt

If bweehh does win this set, could see this going for 5 hours and one of them being carried off court on a stretcher tbh

I actually can’t blame Med for abusing the MTO’s this match, just breathing in those conditions is difficult. The roof has somehow actually worsened things. Heat is one thing but the humidity is much tougher to deal with.

Can you imagine Rune in these conditions

This Sky Sports commentary is embarrassingly bad. It isn't quite Castle bad, but it's not far off.

Are you getting triggered by the global warming discussion?

Fwiw...it's nothing special, but this isn't even an interesting match. Feli is giving some good points, but doesn't feel like there's much to say for this match.

Didn't this humidty kill Fed a few years ago? A flaw in the roof structure?

I wonder what the rules are to talking an substance enhancing substance for MTOs?
An inhaler can help breathing. If a guy needs a substance to go on? Should the rules say you have to retire?
Even if Medvedev has asthma, how much aid are you allowed to utilize?
I'm on the fence and can go either way. Wonder what others think.

:-D No, I've been thinking this whenever I've had to watch any match with these idiots they've picked to commentate. Thankfully I spent most of the week watching matches either with US commentary or none at all.

The ESPN commentary is often worse, depending on who you get. :)

Jadon Sancho really needs to log off as much as me. Latest message says

''Don't believe everything you hear. I was not involved with Rublev's training. I don't even go to my own training, kid.''

To be fair most normal people would collapse after a handful or rallies in these conditions with this intensity.

It's pretty insane.

AKA me.

Few times I've played outside in the heat this year have been baaad. 2nd set I'm cooked. I think I've still won most of those but it ain't easy to keep going with how some clay points can get.

Although one indoor match that I played at night went for like 3 hours. Gets pretty humid inside but I didn't feel my level drop in that one. Maybe was hydrated better that day but who knows.

Could Novak handle these conditions? I think he would pulled through.

Not if he was playing Medvedev. If he was against someone who can't keep the ball in the court, like yesterday, he'd be fine (he struggled a lot early in that match himself). He's horrible in humidity, it's surely a key part of the reason for his comparatively subpar US Open and Cincinnati records. He struggled so bad in Tokyo at the Olympics for that same reason.

They should have conditioning with a closed roof.
