Well this is a really bad look for the Australian Open. Simona Halep suffered extreme dehydration following her 2.5 hour final loss on Saturday night and was admitted to hospital for 4+ hours. She was released Sunday morning.
I think it's interesting that the women had to play with the roof open in the same heat as what the men are playing in right now and yet they get a closed roof. Something to ponder.

The heat policy was initiated by Australian Open organisers for the women’s final, with both Halep and Wozniacki enjoying a 10-minute break between the second and third sets.
“I needed it for the breathing, for the head because I had headache during the match,” Halep revealed post-match.
“Is a good rule when you feel that you need it.”
The mercury reached more than 30 degrees in Melbourne on Saturday.
The heat policy has also been initiated for the men’s final between Roger Federer and Marin Cilic after temperatures soared at Melbourne Park on Sunday.
