Novak Djokovic proposed to the organizers of Roland Garros to postpone the matches due to the temperatures, after Jakub Mensik fainted due to the heat.

The Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic suggested that the organizers of the Roland Garros tournament should postpone matches by a few hours in extreme heat conditions, after experiencing difficulties in the second round. In a press conference, he mentioned that in Australia, matches are often postponed to allow temperatures to drop, emphasizing that this should also be possible at Roland Garros. Djokovic argued that, with enough courts and light, scheduling matches at different times should not be a problem.

He also criticized the idea of covering only certain courts, considering it unfair. Roland Garros has an extreme heat protocol, but it has not been activated until now, as the heat indicator has not been exceeded. Djokovic described his match as exhausting, highlighting the difficulties encountered in intense heat conditions.
