Tennis world shocked: Did the organizers help Federer?
One player was warming up under a closed roof (Federer), the other in the open air (Cilic). That's wrong, this is not a court tournament, said a legendary British tennis player Greg Rusedski
At the beginning of the match between Marina Čilić and Roger Federer at the start of the match was 38 degrees Celsius, so the organizers of the Australian Open decided to finish the final under a closed roof.
Federer celebrated after the trilogy in five sets and took his 20th Grand Slam, but this sparked some controversy.
There is not a signle rain drop, the stadium is practically converted into the hall, and tennis legends and analysts feel this decision was made to make Roger's life a little bit easier.
The tennis world is wondering whether the organizers deliberately helped the Swiss. Otherwise, Federer was preparing for the finals in courtroom conditions, and the Croat in the open.
On the first week of the tournament he played at high air temperatures, and the roof did not close.
To this day, I have a feeling they helped him.
