Novak Djokovic wants French Open heat rules changed

Novak Djokovic thinks the French Open heat rules need to change. Players have competed in very hot temperatures. Djokovic played his second-round match at the hottest time of day and won.

Djokovic asked about the heat rules and suggested stopping play during the day or starting matches later.

Djokovic initially thought there was no heat rule at the French Open. But he learned that if the temperature gets too high, organizers can take action.

The rules say players can have a 10-minute rest period if it gets too hot. Matches can also be stopped until the temperature drops.

Djokovic said the rules are not fair. He thinks it's not fair to close one roof and make other players play in the heat.

Djokovic said closing one court's roof is not fair to other players. He thinks it's better to delay play until the temperature drops.

The Grand Slam champion thinks big tournaments should be able to delay play if it gets too hot.

Djokovic said Grand Slams have many courts and lights, so delaying play should not be a problem.

Djokovic said smaller tournaments may not be able to delay play, but Grand Slams can.

Djokovic thinks playing later in the day could be an option for very hot days.

Djokovic will play Joao Fonseca in the third round. He thinks Fonseca is a very good player with a lot of potential.

Djokovic said Fonseca loves playing on big stages and can play very well under pressure.
