I would say that this is a good PRACTICAL warning. Age is also a big factor. A 55 year old may be able to handle the heat - whereas a person in their late 70s could be endangering their health. Playing tennis is for both fun and improved health. If it is too hot to be fun, then it might be detrimental, rather than beneficial, to your health. The same would be true for pickle ball, golf, and softball. The only sports activity that I will do THIS summer is swimming because of my age mainly. Also, the summers are getting hotter and the gulf and ocean waters are hotter each year for the last 15 years. So, there is more moisture in the air, which jacks up the "feels like" temperature.
