Janko forfeiture
Previously, the article read: "It has forced players to forfeit matches, such as Janko Tipsarević who chose not to continue playing against David Nalbandian in the 2007 Australian Open."

This was incorrect on two counts. Firstly, Janko was not forced to forfeit: he merely chose to.

Secondly, he did not forfeit because of the Extreme Heat Policy. He forfeited because of the heat.

So I removed the sentence, and added a "citation needed" to the statement that the Policy has been controversial.
