There should be a rule regarding heat," Rune reacts to the controversy in Shanghai
The Shanghai Masters 1000 is making a lot of noise due to the ambient heat and humidity, which has led to many withdrawals and players being physically affected.
When asked what the ATP should do in these cases, Holger Rune answered in a press conference: "Yes, I think there should be a rule regarding heat, as is the case in Grand Slam tournaments. I think all players would agree on that.
Today was better, it was less hot. But if the temperature had been more normal, it would have been very hot today. I think it was about 31 degrees and the humidity was very high.
But compared to other days, it was quite brutal. So I think there should be a rule. We can handle a certain amount of heat because we are fit, we are strong, we are also mentally strong, but there is always a limit.
I think it's also important to take care of your health. We need to survive. I think there should be a rule, not to stop us as soon as the temperature exceeds a certain threshold, but like in Grand Slams, where you can feel when it's a bit too much and you wait a bit to see if the temperature drops.
