On a sweltering August afternoon, the game's rules for extreme heat came into play as players -- and fans -- sought relief.
For players competing on the hard courts, which ratchet up temperatures even more, it was enough to trigger the Women’s Tennis Association’s extreme-heat protocol, which requires giving players a 10-minute break after the second set of a three-set match to exit the court for a change of clothes, a quick shower or both.
With virtually every remaining player in action Thursday — including five who were scheduled to compete in both singles and doubles — the trainers who travel the men’s and women’s pro circuit to tape ankles, knead muscles, make initial diagnoses and dispense treatment were kept busy.took on Colombia’s Camila Osorio on Stadium Court in full sun at 2:30 p.m., and the first set alone lasted 79 minutes, littered with service breaks and unforced errors.
At that moment, Hyattsville native Frances Tiafoe, 24, was deadlocked in the first set of his match against No. 8 seed Botic van de Zandschulp. A fan favorite with family and lifelong friends in the Washington area, Tiafoe said he and his agent were doing their best to fill 56 requests for tickets. Conditions promised to fall hardest on those scheduled to play both singles and doubles matches Thursday. That included Tiafoe, Kyrgios, Evans, Van de Zandschulp and, in the women’s event, Xiyu Wang of China.In such cases, tour policy states that a player does not start his or her second match of the day until “after suitable rest.”
