May have been discussed in the previous 35 pages, but why don't they move The Australian to April or May? It would be Autumn down under, would be less physically brutal, and would probably have better play as a result.

I’ve wondered about that myself. London doesn’t ever get super hot, but it seems like the other 3 slams are at the hottest times of the year in their respective cities. I guess tradition is a big factor... and also moving them would affect weeks or months of lead-up tournies for the different surfaces.

ETA: We’re talking about organizations that only recently realized that roofs exist, and that they are beneficial to players and fans.
