Today I was watching “Around the Horn on ESPN” and they were talking about various sporting events coming up such as the Super Bowl and the big Duke and Wake Forest basketball game. Then they came to the Australian Open which is extremely hot there right now because in Australia it is there summer.
The announcers were talking about how hot it was and on the tennis courts it can get extremely hot and almost unbarable. At the tennis open they had to close the roof to cool down the court in the middle of Serena Williams match. She was very upset and said that this took her mentally out of the game. And the announcers did not agree with her and did not have very good things to say about her. They said that, “Tennis players are always complaining.” But the reason that the people had to close the roof because three players had been treated for heat exhaustian so it made perfect sense to stop the match. People can die of heat and Serena needs to realize things just happen. You can not help mother nature.
Serena had lost the match and blamed it on the interruption of the match. Personally she needs to get over it because you need to just get your head in the game regardless of what is going on!!
