On days of extreme heat, the managers of each team shall measure the temperature in the
centre of the court out of direct sunlight. Should the temperature be 34 degrees Celsius
or higher, no play shall take place. If a match is commenced and there is a perception of
an increase in temperature during the course of the match, the temperature may be remeasured
prior to the commencement of a new set. Should the temperature at this time
be 34 degrees Celsius or higher, play is to cease. Play can be halted at any time by
mutual agreement of the team managers.
Please ensure that all players are properly hydrated BEFORE, DURING and AFTER play. For guidelines on correct hydration strategies CLICK HERE to access the Australian Institute of Sport hydration page.
