If we have a repeat of this scorching weather next week, the Wimbledon heat rule could play a role at the tournament.
The heat stress index will be used to determine if there can be a break in play.
The index combines the temperature, humidity level and surface temperature to determine the overall heat level.
If it exceeds 30.1 degrees Celsius, a player can ask for a break.
The heat break applies to all singles matches including men’s, women’s, wheelchair, boys and girls, but not doubles matches.
