Here is our story from the second day of the 2018 US Open at Flushing Meadows.
Petra Kvitova was feeling the heat, but she still managed to book her second-round ticket with a two-set win.
Andrea Petkovic was pumped, but she went down in three sets against Jelena Ostapenko.
Caroline Wozniacki kept her cool.
Mikhail Youzhny was one of several players needing court-side treatment for heat exhaustion.
And Novak Djokovic was another.
Although, in fairness, the scene was absolutely spectacular.

And the view is always improved by the arrival of a leaping Roger Federer.
Nick Kyrgios awaits for Federer in round three if the pair can avoid defeat in round two. Exciting!
