Yeah, I mean, it's funny because by, you know, global standards or by, you know, even tennis standards, it's not that hot.
I mean, we've all seen Australia where you can fry an egg on the court if you want.
And we all know Washington, D.C.
So, I mean, it's surprising in a way because, you know, we're talking about, what, high 80s?
And the humidity is not crazy, crazy.
But I think it's just the context of the place and the pressure.
And it's just very, it's very unusually hot for Paris in this time of year here.
So the players probably have a certain expectation they're dealing with too.
But there's no question that Yannick Sinner has struggled in the heat in different parts of the world.
And he was, you know, beyond struggling after he was up two sets and 5-1 yesterday against one of the Sarundolo brothers.
It was like a man hitting a wall, and then we all had to watch what happened for the next hour and a half after that.
Yeah, it's one of the biggest upsets in tennis history, no question.
Just because Sinner was number one.
A lot of his biggest rivals are out of here, including Alcaraz with an injury to his wrist.
He was just dominant, dominant.
So to go out in the second round is a huge shock.
