The past few days had been scotchers. With the sun blazing down harshly, I watched the players at the Australian Open getting severely tanned under the sun.

I know it is important to slip, slop and slap. But what happened to dressing sensibly by covering up the arms and legs? The ball-people had their hats and long-sleeve shirts, why not the players?

I am less worried about the fashion. I am happy not seeing skin at the tennis, especially the females. I rather see the players wear something sensible for the weather, and slapping on suntan lotion during the breaks. Why can’t the sports clothing company design clothes suitable for these players under the hot sun, something long sleeves but breathable and comfortable.

Or is that too much to ask?
