Today is likely to be the hottest day of grand slam tennis ever.<\/p>\n

Although it might not be the worst-ever conditions \u2013 with outdoor matches shifted to night sessions and other games played with the roof closed, it is not as brutal as earlier Australian Opens played with no roof on days of extreme heat.<\/p>\n
