Previo femenino del Abierto de Australia 2019

January 14, 2019 - January 27, 2019 - El Abierto de Australia, el primer torneo Grand Slam de la temporada, se realiza en Melbourne. En el torneo 2019 se introducen desempates en el set final. Hasta ahora, un jugador solo podía ganar el set final con una ventaja de dos juegos, lo que llevó a algunos partidos maratónicos, pero con la nueva regla, si el partido llega a 6-6 en el set final, el primer jugador que alcance 10 puntos será el ganador.

A further change at this year’s Australian Open means that men’s singles players will be allowed 10-minute breaks if temperatures reach hazardous levels.

Organisers agreed to extend their Extreme Heat Policy after temperatures in the shade approached 40C during the 2018 tournament. A 10-minute break was already in place for the women’s and junior singles, plus a 15-minute break for wheelchair singles.

Under the new policy, if a reading of 4.0 is recorded on the Australian Open Heat Stress Scale during a men’s singles match, a 10-minute break will be allowed after the third set. Breaks in women’s, junior or wheelchair singles matches will take place between the second and third sets.

If a reading of 5.0 is recorded, the tournament referee can suspend play.
