Match were delayed from 9 am to 10 am because of air quality.
A ball kid felt also dizzy during Kavcic Clarke match.
Tiley answered they gonna start play at 11 am but Air surveys said that Air quality at 3 pm was 350 which is 10 times higher like standard Air quality in a Big city like Paris (which is known to be far from a Green City and often had to forbid half the car circulation).
Players are getting angry on Twitter :
City of Melbourne warned people to stay at home with pets and building workers not to work today.
Horse races were cancelled..
French Newspaper L'Equipe said "in Australia, it is better to be a horse or a dog than a Tennis player"
Steve Darcis commented too
