Slyfi, I had that happen to me too! Except I was in high school and it was in the first round of CIF (statewide champs) and I WAS wearing tennis shoes. It wasn't as bad as yours, but I could definetly tell that there was a burning rubber smell. I toe-slide on my volleys, and it would leave a trail like a pencil eraser on the court! My partner and I went through a half-gallon Coleman of water in the 2 hour match. LOL, the opponents were from San Francisco and couldn't take the heat. We won that one but lost the next round.
I do remember seeing heat waves coming up from the court and feeling that my legs were burning. Not fun.
