Cincinnati - How do the players avoid sun/heat stroke?

Question

The temperature is crazy there, just sitting in it must be awful! How do the players not get ill?!

Answer 1

they drink alot of fluids before hand  ...the key is to stay hydrated

Answer 2

Yeah, it's crazy to think they're out there running around in such extreme heat.  It's even hotter on the courts!  They are able to deal with the heat because:

1)  They're extremely fit athletes.

2)  They drink lots and lots of water.

3)  They've practiced in extreme heat and have conditioned their bodies to handle this kind of weather.

The question I have is how do the fans stand watching tennis in such extreme heat?

By the way, the Australian Open is the hottest of the tournaments, and over there they play best of 5 sets!

Answer 3

Drink, Drink, Drink, Drink, need i say it again?

You must drink water or a sports drink even when your not playing, you should be drinking the same amont when on and off the courts. Staying hydradted is vital.

Answer 4

usually the tennis players wear white. I think that helps or something
