VIDEO SHOWS: SOUNDBITES FROM IGA SWIATEK, HOLGER RUNE AND ALEX DE MINAUR ON HEAT AND CHALLENGING PLAYING CONDITIONS IN CHINA SHOWS: WUHAN, CHINA (OCTOBER 7, 2025) (WTA/DAZN – See restrictions) 1.(SOUNDBITE) (English) WTA WORLD NUMBER TWO, IGA SWIATEK PLAYING AT WUHAN OPEN, SAYING:  “Honestly, I feel like it's getting hotter in different places over the years. So I already experienced that, for example, in Cincinnati this year. So I'm just trying to, yeah, use my experience, recover well between the points, and just spend all my energy on having the best quality possible. But for sure, it's a challenge and, well, I'm happy I didn't play yesterday because it was, I think, you know, too much for most of the players. So I just hope our matches will be scheduled in a time. I mean, on Centre Court, I think it's a little bit cooler because of the air conditioning and everything, but I hope the other matches will be scheduled in a time where girls can really, like, compete, rather than just die on the court.” SHANGHAI, CHINA (OCTOBER 5, 2025) (ATP MEDIA / IMG – See restrictions before use) 2. (SOUNDBITE) (English) INTERVIEWER AT ATP SHANGHAI MASTERS ASKING: "Holger, tough work today with the heat and the humidity. When the doctor was cold, how much were you struggling?" (SOUNDBITE) (English) ATP WORLD NUMBER 11, HOLGER RUNE, SAYING: "I was struggling a lot, but… It was for a certain amount of time, then I felt better after. The doctor told me and the physio also told me to do some more breathing and stuff, so they were very nice. So big credit to them, keeping it very relaxed under this heat stress. So I think, I just, I knew what I was going into. I warmed up today. I knew it was going to be hot and I just thought, okay, it's going to be hot also for him. And, you know, we're both Europeans, so we're not, you know, quite used to this kind of weather." SHANGHAI, CHINA (OCTOBER 6, 2025) (ATP MEDIA / IMG – See restrictions before use) 3. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ATP WORLD NUMBER 7, ALEX DE MINAUR, SAYING: "But I came in to this week, knowing how tough the conditions were going to be. So the mindset ultimately is surviving and finding ways and getting ready for battles every time you step out on court, and there's no such thing as easy matches, especially in these types of conditions. So I'm glad I was able to compose myself in the second serve and kind of get the break back and finish it off in two, because if we went into a third, it would have been very, very physical." 4. WHITE FLASH 5. "Well, today's going to be officially my first ice bath, so I'm very much looking forward to that. I'm going to see. Normally, it's probably my most hated thing in the whole tennis world to do an ice bath, but I think it's going to feel very refreshing today." STORY: World tennis top stars Iga Swiatek and Holger Rune have voiced their concerns on the harsh playing conditions at the ongoing WTA and ATP tournaments in China. The governing body of men's tennis could consider a formal heat rule after a string of retirements at the Shanghai Masters this week blew the draw wide open, with top players wilting under soaring temperatures and punishing humidity.  World number two Jannik Sinner's title defence ended in agony on Sunday when the Italian struggled to walk due to cramp in his right thigh before he retired in the deciding set of his third-round clash with Tallon Griekspoor. Novak Djokovic vomited during his encounter with Yannick Hanfmann while Rune was heard asking an official during a medical timeout in his meeting with Ugo Humbert if players had to "die on court" amid the heat and humidity. "It's the same for every player out on the court, but it's brutal," Djokovic said after he battled to victory. "It's brutal when you have over 80% of humidity day after day, particularly for the guys when they're playing during the day with the heat, with sun, it's even more brutal." Others including Casper Ruud, Tomas Machac, David Goffin, Terrence Atmane, Hamad Medjedovic and Wu Yibing were unable to pull through and retired mid-match due to illness or injury in the early rounds. The temperature was at around 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) throughout the opening rounds with the humidity soaring over 80% at times. The need for a formal ATP heat rule had sprung up in August in Cincinnati when Arthur Rinderknech collapsed on court during a match in sweltering conditions before handing Felix Auger-Aliassime the victory. Under ATP regulations, decisions on the suspension of play due to adverse weather conditions – including extreme heat – lie with an onsite ATP supervisor who coordinates with medical teams at the venue as well as local authorities. "In parallel, the ATP Medical Services team implements several measures in cases of extreme heat, to help protect player health during competition," the governing body told Reuters via email. However, the elite body said it was open to change. Similar scenes at the Wuhan WTA event as well as the harsh conditions forced play to be suspended on all outdoor courts on Monday. On Tuesday, an exhausted Emma Raducanu had her blood pressure checked during a medical timeout before retiring while trailing 6-1 4-1 to Ann Li at the Wuhan Open first round, with the temperature nearing 35 degrees Celsius on a humid afternoon. Raducanu posted a screenshot of her phone screen on social media, displaying a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius. (Production: Bhagya Ayyavoo)

STILL OF RONALDO CELEBRATING WITH PORTUGAL FORWARDS, JOAO FELIX, AND FRANCISCO CONCEICAO STORY: Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first footballer to reach billionaire status, according to the latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which has valued the Portugal great's net worth at an estimated $1.4 billion. The 40-year-old striker's financial ascent comes after he signed a new contract with Saudi side Al-Nassr in June reportedly worth more than $400 million. Bloomberg said that Ronaldo earned more than $550 million in salary between 2002 and 2023, supplemented by a decade-long Nike deal worth nearly $18 million annually, and lucrative endorsements with Armani, Castrol and others that added more than $175 million to his fortune. Ronaldo's move to Al-Nassr from Manchester United in 2023 had already made him the highest-paid player in football history, with an annual salary of 177 million pounds ($237.52 million), plus bonuses and a reported 15% share in his Saudi Arabia club. Argentina and Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi has earned more than $600 million in pre-tax salary during his career. Ronaldo's billionaire status places him among a rare group of athletes that includes basketball greats Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and LeBron James, golfer Tiger Woods and tennis player Roger Federer.
