What is hot in sport other than the weather at the moment?
Match fixing in tennis is not cool but Djokovic is hot - hot favourite that is to win the French Open in May and hold all four grand slams.
Djokovic easily swiped an emotional Andy Murray aside at the Australian Open and is hoping to do the same to Nadal at Roland Garros.
Nadal is meant to be the king of clay, but at 30 years of age and struggling to regain his form he may be suffering from a confidence slump and Djokovic, the current alpha male of tennis, can smell fear.
Andy Murray is often the ‘‘beta'' male, and oozed panic in Australia.
He needs to be mentally and physically on form to even challenge for the top dog spot.
With his father-in-law collapsing in the stands, and his heavily pregnant wife ready to drop, he seemed more than a little on edge.
Djokovic, on the other hand, looked composed, confident and carefree and even has time for a laugh with the crowd and the ball boys and girls.
He is definitely hot in the world of tennis.
Bring on the French Open for some interesting and entertaining tennis.
In rugby, Sonny Bill Williams was running both hot and cold at the Wellington 7s, so he gets a luke-warm reading but a warm hug for trying and doing so in a humble way.
He did some great off loads to get the team to the final, but also nearly cost New Zealand the final with a wayward no-look pass.
He was probably relieved to be subbed off and jubilant that despite the odd being against a comeback, that is just what Tietjen's team did.
Whether you think the refereeing was hot or cold is debatable.
My South African in-laws will say the ref deserves a roasting, but personally, he did the right thing.
Professional fouls need to be sent off in sevens and besides - Sonny Bill almost gifted them the win, and they still couldn't stop the red hot locals from blindsiding their super-fast players
. In the stand, the small but vocal crowd in Wellington looked like it was having a great time, but the future for sevens in the capital has, for all intents and purposes, surely gone cold.
In basketball, the Breakers are breaking into a cold sweat as they try to revive their struggling season.
They have to turn a losing streak into a winning streak to sneak into contention.
So, what has changed in the franchise to go from champions to chumps so early in the season?
Whatever it is, they've decided to put some heat on themselves and are referring to these next few games as the play-offs.
Nothing like a bit of pressure to create magic, and they'll need a lot of that if they're to turn their fate around.
Netball is on the back-burner as the franchises start to firm up their squads and coaching crew.
League is about to reach boiling point in Auckland with the NRL Nines tournament ready to kick off this weekend, and the players will be feeling the heat as the behaviour of league players is once again under the microscope.
League is already sweating due to high-profile players, such as Mitchell Pearce, Valentine Holmes and Cameron Munster, getting into hot water.
As a result, all NRL teams at the Nines will be chaperoned by police to prevent any additional antics getting air time.
Of course, there are many other sports and athletes that deserve their moment in the sun, but we just don't get to see their sizzling form because they're shaded by the high-profile, commercialised sports.
Being in the spotlight, however, comes with burdens.
It intensifies the pressure, so maybe it's smarter to stay in the dappled shade and enjoy the warmth but not the intense heat that comes with media attention, societal expectations, and sponsorship demands.
