The tournament is played indoors - there are always lights  ! He doesn't mind, so don't worry. As far as I knew the guy always liked night sessions! Davai hbibi; make it work and don't freak me out! |

Excellent - they don't show that tournament here on TV so I wasn't aware - sorry for my ignorance  to Dina: They said in Cincinnati, when it was getting dark and he had the first 'foot fault incident' that he was growing frustrated playing under the lights, and he is having difficulties seeing the ball clearly... he had complained about it. fyi |

I have some pics of Marat arriving in Bangkok  look at Gumy in this picture...he is the one who looks amused, not Marat. Then again, Marat didn't look so amused at some of his US Open practice sessions, and Gumy seemed so mellow about it all.  |
