There's news stories saying it's nearly 70 degrees Celsius on court? Seems a bit hot for tennis

Yeah, court temps hit 150*F today. Air temps were "only" 104*F.

Giorgi in the Sydney International and now the Aus Open has been some ridiculous power hitting. There are some crosscourt winners from behind the baseline that are nuts.

Giorgi has always been that way but she’s reining in the UEs now.

It looks like she's finally gotten rid of her dad as coach? I wish more players did that sooner.

Rooting for Barty, though.

edit: I'm kind of disappointed that Goffin is out so early.

Beats watching the Knicks play basketball.

Petkovic is my favorite WTA player, and I always thought she would be the one to break through and win something big, not Kerber. But that ship has sailed. It sucks.

Players looked like they were wilting in the heat. With temperatures going up I don't see how they can keep the AO in January.

The next 6 days are all in the 20s with the last 3 all being less than 25. Melbourne just does this from time to time. Last summer wasn't *that* bad and this summer hasn't really been that bad either.

That was a really even match. Halep just a little bit better and I think her ankle is fine.

RIP Zverev. Bageled in final set by Chung. Next time he should complain more about the lights in the arena.

When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

Dimitrov gonna lose a fifth if chokes this set away after serving for the match. Or he'll win 6-0 cause I'm usually wrong.
