Tennis players at the French Open say they haven't experienced conditions this hot at Roland Garros since the Paris Olympics, which were held in July and August. Temperatures for the opening two days of the clay-court Grand Slam have soared to 33 degrees Celsius (91 Fahrenheit), far beyond normal for late May in the French capital.
Forecasters predict the scorching conditions will persist throughout the entire first week of the tournament. Players report that the dry, baked clay surface is causing the ball to bounce higher and faster, significantly altering match dynamics.
The extreme heat is testing the physical endurance of competitors while also creating a challenging environment for fans attending matches in the sun-soaked courts.
