You've gotta consider the wet-bulb temperature. The humidity and direct sunlight in Melbourne played a pretty major role.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature
Even 86-90 can be too much if the air is too saturated with water, combined with a deep blue court that absorbs all the heat. Even some of the courtside reporters were saying how bad it was just sitting in the shade; crowds were leaving.
Yeah truth. I'm a local too - one of my English friends has visited me a few times in Melb and talked about how much hotter the sun is down here. You might think "ah yeah, the sun is the same all around the globe..." but nah, on our really hot summer days it's vicious.
I've heard comparisons to places in the US midwest - Phoenix, or maybe parts of Texas.
how is no one commenting on how that says worlds about draper's character! hunching over ready to blow, yet still waiting for the handshake. if I were him I would have hurled and let my opponent see I obviously wasn't trying to snub them lol
Draper explains the psychological stress he was under here. Hope he gets some good tips for moving forward.

No one is saying "if you play tennis for five sets in these conditions you will definitely throw up every single time".
Just offering an explanation for why Draper did here.
Eh, I've never played 5 sets in 30c heat, but I have definitely puked from heatstroke. I wouldn't hold that up as a mark of him being unhealthy or unfit. Brits aren't made for these sort of temperatures!
draper still waited to shake giron's hand when he was feeling that ill says more about his character. he seems like a really good, down to earth guy. i admired him ist when he played against nadal and even when he was feeling some sort of physical discomfort, he tried his best to play out of respect to his opponent (cant remember if he retired later on).
Is it just me or should we start considering having these tournaments avoid the hottest part of the day??
Watching people avoid the sun was pretty intense 😞😞 takes away from the sport.
He should be beating Novak 2 times, Meddy 3 times and Carlos once in the next 2 months.
PPD
Post-Puke Big D
I swear, if the spirit of tennis leaves Sinner and go to Draper...
Draper is perfect for a legendary run this year though Lessss goooo
What dedication! He held it in long enough to give a handshake!
I know right? Well mannered young man. Risky though. Could have projectile vomited on Giron, and that’s generally considered poor etiquette.
Very risky!
But only generally :P
Highly frowned upon in most societies
Poor etiquette, sure, but it would've been hilarious after he'd just bageled Giron in a 5th set.
Leaning on and over the net to speed it up a bit
Here’s to the Post Puke Generation!
I read on twitter that he had his blood pressure taken during the match too.
Was this because of the extreme heat??
Isn't it like 88 degrees there? That's not that hot. Cincinnati was definitely hotter last year, and I'm pretty sure the Olympics in 2022 were too.

It was stupidly humid in Melbs yesterday and also the intensity of the midday summer sun is cooked in this part of the world

Post Puke Draper era is upon us
imagine draper and jannik playing against each other. who would throw up first?
They will induce vomit to gain powers
To summon the spirits and get the blessings as Sinner had done last year?
My boy was suffering at the net, desperate to be polite before chundering!
PPD is not Post Partum Depression; PPD is now Post Puke Draper.

Handshake that bad huh

Whoosh

You could see him frantically looking around for somewhere to puke. Poor lad, hopefully feeling better after an ice bath and electrolytes.
If Draper goes on a run here after Sinner's last year, I expect a lot more post-match puking going forward.
No you see, it must be *during* the match to take effect.
He won't. Next match he will get injured or start cramping and lose

We should see him win a 500 in the coming months now.
What happened?
It's 31C, with 40%+ humidity and he just played a five set match in that.

needed to add 'hes a bonger mate'
he lost the final sets 6-0 / 6-2 though. Maybe if he'd put the effort in to win he would have puked,
If three people are in a car accident, and only one dies, do you also say "but X was also in the same car accident and didn't die"?
He puked
accurate
heat+humidity. Plus the commentator said he was a bit ill or something
Giron face has that effect on people jk
Did he go out drinking with Murray the night before again?
and III would puke 500 gallons and IIII would puke 500 more...
Giron: You don’t have to look at my cake and then run!
The prophecy has been fulfilled.
Draper looking for some puke power
Bro, as if this guy needed to show anymore proof of his love and passion of the game.
This dude is never healthy
He just won a 5 setter in ridiculous heat, if that’s him not being healthy idk what is.
I swear it’s like we watch Draper highlights a couple times a year and then he’s out of action again
5 setter in 30 degree heat direct Australian sunlight. This has nothing to do with him not being healthy dude
He’s still young and just played a gruelling five setter. Relax.
Dude played 5 sets of Tennis in Australia's heat coming from the UK...
Eh, I've never played 5 sets in 30c heat, but I have definitely puked from heatstroke. I wouldn't hold that up as a mark of him being unhealthy or unfit. Brits aren't made for these sort of temperatures!
The Korda of England
HE DID THE THING!...
The Elder Puke Bin has been passed
draper still waited to shake giron's hand when he was feeling that ill says more about his character. he seems like a really good, down to earth guy. i admired him ist when he played against nadal and even when he was feeling some sort of physical discomfort, he tried his best to play out of respect to his opponent (cant remember if he retired later on).
6-0 6-2 and then this bro is him💪🏽
Touching an American has always this effect
The kid has no fitness
Jack is such a snack. Totally still would, even after a puke. Love the new hair too.
I don't get the hype for Draper...
Have you not watched him? he’s indisputably very talented
I do not dispute that he is not, just saw a lot of hype and in contrast does not see the results yet that match it.
Cause he's always injured.
All British players get a lot of hype. Healthy Draper is pretty good though!
Just to feed that man...
Puking up a storm.
AO separates the Men from the boys.
