The weather hell in Tokyo took its toll earlier today, when Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa had to surrender her quarterfinal match, and the heat did not spare even the best tennis player in the world, who defeated Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina in his match, allowing him to win only four games.

However, it was evident that the tennis players needed to cool down in any way, so despite the fact that the match did not last that long, Novak Djokovic had certain problems. It is very lucky that the match was played on the central court, that offered shade for most of the day.

That is why Djokovic had to use the help of "oxygen" from a pipe during one break, with the help of which he managed to cool down to some extent and gather strength for the rest of the match.

This photo shocked many and once again made the fans harshly criticize tournament organizers via social networks, which are obviously not overly concerned about the health of the athletes themselves. Temperatures in Japan currently exceed 30 degrees Celsius, but the humidity is inhumane, at over 70% during the day.
