Novak Djokovic posts picture of egg frying on court at Australian Open

Yep, it's still really hot in Melbourne...

Another day, another story of just how hot it is at the Australian Open in Melbourne. The very high temperatures, 40 degrees Celcius and higher,  have yet again been a feature of this year's tournament and complaints from a raft of players have flooded in all week. The latest to add his voice to the chorus of dismay is World No 1 Novak Djokovic. He posted this picture from the practice courts on his Twitter account this morning to make his point.

That's how hot it was. Thank you everybody for being so persistent and passionate about our sport. @ AustralianOpen pic.twitter.com/pc7hAUbHQm — Novak Djokovic (@DjokerNole) January 17, 2014

The temperature once again went over the 40 Degree mark on Friday but the good news for all concerned is that the heat is subsiding, with a very mild 23 Degrees forecast for tomorrow.
