Did The Decision To Close The Stadium Roof Give Roger Federer An Edge In The Australian Open Final?


The 2018 Australian Open featured two great tennis matches in the men's and women's finals. Despite that, the tournament administration had a really bad weekend because of their decision to close the stadium roof for the men's match in the wake of brutal temperature and humidity, a choice which some suggested gave an advantage to eventual champion Roger Federer. On Saturday, the women’s final was played in oppressive heat, but with the roof open. They also likely had a further flashback to the semis where Hyeon Chung retired after less than two sets against Roger Federer. Did one player or another get an advantage by playing the men's final indoors?
