Sometimes during the course of all sporting events, weather could affect how athletes play either during rain, snow,or in scorching temperatures. This week in Wimbledon, the players were advise that the temperature could reach a high of 32C or even higher. With the temperature being this hot the All England Club’s Heat Rule could be in effect. The England Club’s Heat rule is a rule that allows players to take breaks during the match. 
Even though the weather could played a factor with the players this week, the players are used to such extreme weather, back in 2014 at the Australian Open the temperature was 42c, but on this court the weather could play a huge factor in this event.
“On a tennis court, it’s not just a matter of the ambient temperature being high – this is exacerbated by the lower level of air flow in enclosed courts, direct sunshine and the heat from spectators. When it comes to rackets, “you would expect the string tension to drop a little bit”, giving the players a little more control over the ball, says Andy Harland, head of the Sports Technology Institute at Loughborough University.
“By far the most significant factor will be the way the players react to high temperatures. Their bodies will generate a huge amount of heat and their heart rate will increase as the body pumps blood from the muscles to the skin in order to sweat. “For the same effort they will have to work a lot harder,” says Steve Faulkner, an expert in exercise physiology at Loughborough.”
With all the factors that are put in front of all these players, these players have to go out there and perform their best, but the the two factors within this tournament will be the temperature, as well as the fatigue affect. It will be very intriguing to see how players will perform at a 100% when calefaction will be a huge factor.
