As weather in Melbourne remains the most discussed thing this time around in Australian Open, here are few quotes that substantiate the ongoing heat wave in Australia.
"I have played all over the world but today's heat conditions had to be by far the worst ever. Could have easily fried an egg today on court," Bopanna tweeted after he and Qureshi saw off the French-Aussie pair 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (5).
"Think I have aged a few years after our win today... Inspite of our interrupted match due to serious serious heat..."
"We have never received any e-mails or, you know, warnings about the weather or what to do," Maria Sharapova said after beating Karin Knapp 6-3, 4-6, 10-8.
"I was dizzy from the middle of the first set and then I saw Snoopy and I thought, 'Wow Snoopy, that’s weird'.” – Frank Dancevic “I thought I could die here.” – Ivan Dodig.
"It was like an oven - when I open the oven and the potatoes are done. That's what it's like." – John Isner "It felt pretty hot, like you're dancing in a frying pan.” – Victoria Azarenka.
