Novak Djokovicstruggles in the heat this afternoon during his match with Tommy Paul at The Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic

BGUK_3622550 - The Serb and current World No 8 Mens singles player, struggled in the heat this afternoon in a tight match that he won by the tightest of margins in a short tie-break decider against the American. He did not stay for a post match interview court side or to sign autographs and take selfies with fans. Djokovic used water in several forms to remain cool: drinking, ice towels and pouring over his face and head. Photographs also show back support strips and an implant of some kind in his left ear. The UK record for the hottest day in June was broken for a third day in a row today, with temperatures reaching 37.3C in Suffolk, the Met Office has said. The 50-year-old record was beaten by more than a full degree, highlighting the intensity of the heatwave which has gripped the country this week.
