Soaked with sweat on the hottest day at this year’s US Open, Daniil Medvedev looked into a courtside camera and issued what sounded like a mix between a warning and a plea.
Soaked with sweat as the temperature neared 35 degrees Celsius on the hottest day at this year’s US Open, 2021 champion Daniil Medvedev walked slowly to towel off between points of his victory over Andrey Rublev, looked into a courtside camera and issued what sounded like a mix between a warning and a plea.“It was brutal,” Medvedev, a 27-year-old Russian seeded No. 3, said after eliminating Rublev 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the semi-finals at Flushing Meadows for the fourth time on Wednesday .
They’re using ice – so much ice, in plastic bags or wrapped in towels – and courtside tubes blowing cold air to try to stay cool. Medvedev wore a white towel around his neck during the on-court interview after finishing off the two-hour, 48-minute match at Arthur Ashe Stadium and said he was looking forward to a cold shower. Under a new rule adopted on Tuesday for the rest of the event, the US Tennis Association partially closed the retractable Ashe roof – normally used to block out rain – to provide some additional protection from the sun for spectators and competitors.
As for the weather? Sabalenka, a 25-year-old from Belarus, said her training base in the United States prepared her well for the heat and humidity, which rose above 50 per cent.
