In the second round of the Australian Open Russian Karen Khachanov lost to 12th seed Argentinean Juan Martin Del Potro 6:4, 7:6 (7:4), 6:7 (0:7), 6:4. The match on the burning court lasted 3 hours 46 minutes and as many other tennis players, Karen is wondering why organisers have decided not to close the roof to give the players at least some shadow.
