I agree--it's ridiculous. How "tough" do players have to be? And why would anyone want to be in the crowd?

There really needs to be a strategic plan around moving the dates (to cooler temps in Australia)or a plan to cool down the courts. It's terrible and somewhat awful to witness.sventenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-73294130455990498892014-01-15T08:28:53.420-06:002014-01-15T08:28:53.420-06:00I hadn't noticed--I really wasn' looking. ...I hadn't noticed--I really wasn' looking.

At a distance it's quite appealing - it looks like vegetation, not cold blue or dead gray seats. Go Aussies. The courts are no longer grass, but there's hint of it there in the stands.Dougnoreply@blogger.com
