Paris – Fans, players and staff at the French Open on Tuesday toughed it out under the heat dome that has swept western Europe.
France set a May temperature record on Monday, and temperatures were forecast to pass 34 degrees Celsius again on Tuesday in what Meteo France called “a heat wave, notable for its early onset and prolonged duration.”
“Well, it’s warm,” said French player Arthur Rinderknech after he won on Monday. “We’re not used to that warmth in Paris at the French Open.”
