"Set it to like 35 degrees Celsius and, like, 70% humidity": Murray going through gruelling training to avoid US Open cramping

Britain’s Andy Murray has stated what he is doing to be fully
prepared for the tennis season in the American region.
The former world number one struggled with fitness concerns
last year when he travelled to North America because of the hot weather in
the region in summer.
To avoid that this year, Murray, who was quoted in a report,
revealed that he reached there early and is now putting different kinds of exercises,
including a lot of ‘biking’.
“I mean, I got here pretty early,” he said. “We arrived on
Tuesday night, so, yeah, try and get used to the humidity. Obviously had quite
a lot of issues last year during American summer with like cramping and stuff
like that. Wanted to make sure I got here early to give myself enough time to
adjust to that. It's been good.
"So like in preparation I was doing a lot of bike sessions,
you know, basically I put the bike in
there and we can, like, open the steam room a little bit to increase the
humidity, obviously the heaters to get the heat in the room up. Set it to like
35 degrees Celsius and, like, 70% humidity and then I would do my bike sessions
in there."
Murray has an impressive record while playing at the US Open
where he won back in 2012 after beating the current world number two and Serbia’s
legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic in the final in a five-set thriller with a
score of 7–6(12–10), 7–5, 2–6, 3–6, 6–2.
However, since then, the 36-year-old has not played in the semifinal
or beyond as his best outing was in the 2017 edition where he was knocked in
the quarterfinal after losing to America’s Sam Querrey in another five-set
thriller with a score of 3-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1, 6-1.
