Are you sure you haven't mis-read 42C as 142F? I can't find any news reporting that it was over 105F.


That would make sense. News reports on Djokovic's default all say the temperature was about 33C. That makes an on-court temperature between 40C and 50C very likely, as in other matches on that day but 61C seems improbable.
