I'm kinda glad the Aussie Open got cancelled this year... just kidding 
. Seriously though, 45°C is crazy hot and I think it's great that players found ways to cope with it. But let's be real, tennis should probably be played in a more climate-controlled environment, you know? 
Like, what's the point of even calling it "extreme" heat when they can just air condition the whole court?
And I feel bad for the players who have to deal with that kind of temperature. They're out there giving it their all on the court while we're just chillin' in our AC rooms, enjoying a cold drink
. It's not fair. But at the same time, I get why they can't just move the tournament to somewhere cooler... it's like, they've got fans who travel from all over the world to watch them play! 
I guess what I'm saying is, while I sympathize with the players' plight, I think it's a bit of a cop-out that they couldn't just adapt better or something. Like, can't we just invent some cool tech to make the court more comfortable for them?

Ugh, 45°C in Australia is insane 
! I mean, I know they're used to it down under, but come on! Can't a tournament be held without players melting into puddles of sweat? The equipment and strategies are one thing, but what about the actual conditions? Like, how's that supposed to affect the game? Are we talking about tennis here or heatstroke in the outback?
And don't even get me started on the schedule
. Delays and postponements? That's just a joke. The players are there to play, not to sweat it out like they're in some kind of bizarre sauna competition. I'm surprised no one got heat-related illnesses or anything more serious... that would've been a real game-changer.
It's all just part of the Aussie summer, I guess
. But still, can't we have a tournament without feeling like we're stuck in a sci-fi movie?

! I mean, 45°C is just ridiculous, especially for athletes who are already pushing their bodies to the limit out there on the court. It's crazy that they were able to adapt and make the most of it, using all sorts of fancy equipment and cooling systems. But at the same time, you've got to feel for the players and staff who had to deal with those conditions - I can only imagine how tough it must've been 
.
And yeah, it's no surprise that some matches got delayed or postponed... I mean, when it's that hot outside, you don't want to be stuck in a stuffy stadium all day. It's just common sense
. But overall, it was still an epic tournament despite the heat, and I'm stoked that the players were able to perform at their best (mostly)

Ugh, can't believe they're making players play in those crazy temperatures ! I mean, 45°C is just ridiculous, even for Australia. The fact that players had to use special equipment and strategies to stay cool just shows how extreme it was. And the impact on the schedule? Forget about it 
. Delays and postponements are one thing, but what if someone gets heatstroke or something? It's just not safe 
.
And have you seen those tennis balls they're using now? Heat-resistant ones that don't get all soggy in the heat. Can you believe that's a thing? Priorities, right? But seriously, shouldn't they be focusing on player safety instead of 'innovating' new equipment? Just saying

Priorities, right? But seriously, shouldn't they be focusing on player safety instead of 'innovating' new equipment? Just saying Ugh, I'm still fuming about this Australian Open thing . Can't believe they're gonna force players to play in those crazy hot conditions. 45 degrees Celsius? That's just insane! What were they thinking?! 
The players are brave, I'll give 'em that, but come on, can't we do better than this? At least they had the sense to use cooling gear and adjust their schedules... I guess that's a start, but it feels like just a Band-Aid solution. And what about all the fans who got stuck in the heat?! They must've been baking out there too. Can't wait for the commentators to go on about how 'tough' it was for the players... like they're some kind of superheroes or something . Anyway, just hope they can get things back under control for the rest of the tournament.

️ like, they're already giving it their all and then you gotta deal with the heat? no wonder some matches got delayed anyway, i'm glad the players found ways to cope with the heat using special gear and all that. it's just wild to think about how much of an impact the weather can have on a sporting event
