Hey, they closed the roof today midway through the williams match. Wonder why they couldnt do it the other days when it was also hot?? Lack of common sense really. Espescially for the Djokovic match, just makes you wonder if he could have played better....
The "Extreme Heat Policy" came into play today. Not sure what they classify as extreme heat.

40 degrees +?

Well thats relative. I mean, if the guy is dying under the sun then you should close the roof as the heat has obviously become too extreme from the players point of view. Besides, you should play it safe, why wait for just the 'extreme' weather? If the roof is there, and players are in discomfort, use it.

I don't think the heat affected Djokovic to the level people are saying. The question must be raised if Djokovic was winning, would he have retired? Absolutely not!!

Djokovic has retired many times last year, I think he was really too tired at the Aussie Open, the heat must have been 47degrees celcius on court, plus it must have been stuffy

What an epic fail for safina. For some reason, I find the womens' finals boring.
