While the US Open continues to go on in full swing, there’s one thing that has brought out the worst in the players. The extreme weather conditions in New York, where the US Open is being played, have proved impossible for the players to deal with. Recently, the list of victims increased as it had one more name on the list to add. Novak Djokovic is going to play against Ben Shelton in a highly anticipated semi-final match in the tournament. However, before the pre-match warmup sessions, he had to suffer a heavy blow.

His coach, Goran Ivanisevic, could not deal with the hot and humid conditions in New York, which resulted in him being sick just moments before Novak’s match.

Novak Djokovic’s coach felt sick after warmup due to humid conditions

In the lead-up to his US Open semi-final showdown against Ben Shelton, Novak Djokovic’s coach faced a tough opponent even before stepping onto the court – scorching heat and sticky humidity. The weather was incredibly hot and muggy, making it hard for anyone, even the experienced Goran Ivanisevic, to cope.

As Djokovic geared up for the crucial match, the relentless heat and humidity made everything harder. Ivanisevic, who was helping Djokovic prepare, felt so sick from the conditions that he had to leave the warmup session. In a recent tweet shared, Ivanisevic was seen resting, as it became almost unbearable for him to cope with the heat.

Djokovic and Shelton not only have to face each other but also battle against the elements in their quest for victory. However, this is not the first time that something of this kind has happened. Throughout the tournament, players have complained about dealing with extreme weather conditions in New York. There have been instances when players had to deal with the same issue.
