Wheelchair tennis not completely wheelchair friendly?

John McKenna is a disability commentator whose weekly blog highlights a disability issue that has grabbed his attention.

This week he reports on attending the wheelchair tennis at the Australian Open 2012. A purpose-built platform was provided for wheelchair users to view the matches.  Unfortunately it did not have any shelter. There was shade for those who could negotiate the stairs up into the stands. It is summer in Australia and it can get pretty hot sitting out in the sun.
