Tennis: Frenchman Michael Llodra has spoken of his battle with the heat in his first-round win over seventh seed Tomas Berdych at the US Open.
World number 35 Llodra defeated Wimbledon finalist Berdych in straight sets to win 7-6 6-4 6-4.
But he said on Thursday that the scorching weather had proved more of a challenge than his opponent.
"I sweat a lot and I just feel really bad," said Llodra. "I mean, I can't move. It gets to me really quickly actually."
