It's a hard thing to let go of, but is it out of tune with the times as well?
Yeah, there are rules in place now.
The French Open does have a policy and both tours do as well.
And it's based on sort of, forgive me for my lack of knowledge on the ideals, figures of this, but it's like the wet bulb metric.
And they use this combination of humidity and pure heat to decide when they would stop a match.
In Australia, they actually close the roof.
And some may recall was up against an American named Spazieri third round of the Australian Open.
And they invoked the wet bulb situation and they closed the roof and basically saved him and he ended up winning the match.
So there are limits put in place.
Are they accommodating enough?
I think there's going to be a debate about that now.
But what I don't want to see, Tony, what you don't want to see is you don't want to see them making separate rules just because the top guys are having issues.
You want to see it be democratic in that way and be fair to the ones who are the surrender lows of the world, you know, who...
who was better conditioned maybe and able to handle the heat better, and that's why he won yesterday in part.
It's just you have Sinner, who was the ultimate favorite, right?
So all the pressure was on Sinner.
