Heat!

It was an ear-stinging, skin-scalding day here on Tuesday, a day when you wished there was no breeze, because all it did was send the 105-degree (+40.6C) heat flying straight into your face. Fans doused themselves with water and stood for hours in the shade, even if it meant seeing no tennis at all; by the middle of the afternoon most of them had disappeared entirely. There was no escape for those who had to be on court, though. A ball boy passed out, multiple players pulled out, and when the temperature reached 107 (+41.7C) degrees, Canada’s Frank Dancevic just sat down.
