The majority of person's cardiovascular capacity is determined by genetics. How much air can be inhaled and how much oxygen the blood can carry. The first can't be changed to any significant degree, but the blood responds to continuous oxygen demands by simply carrying more red blood cells. (Just staying at an elevation 1.6km (~1 mile) higher for two weeks the body responds by creating approximately 1 million more red blood cells.) Athletes can increase their bloods oxygen capacity by doing more intense cardiovascular training. Like running multiple 40, 60, 80 and 100 meter dashes. And maybe throw in a one or two 200 meter dashes. But that might be too much work for today's athletes.

As a seeded player, he gets direct entries and free money to play in these top tier events. Dude, survive the US Open and take the rest of the year off. More players should be doing this.

Just man up and admit you're to old to handle heat and humidity. You had problems with it when you were young.

A professional tennis player is playing in shoes so cheap the laces break? What brand so I'll be sure not to ever by any?
