It's not factual so it cannot be a lie; it's his judgement.
Besides, perhaps he felt the need to point this out, umbarassed by possibility that someone might get the impression he was told by the organizer about which decision it will be and prepared exclusively for indoors.
I don't know really.
IDK which indoor temperature was expected by Marin and his team. I can understand though why they didn't quite expect a spring season temperature.
Part of info came from the local tennis specialized newsman/blogger who's closely connected with Marin and other local players, another part came from the local pro stringer with RG experience who has some knowledge on what Marin uses otherwise. I know the stringer personally but he was asked for clarifications by this newsman. But they didn't get into too many details like actual tensions difference. They just explained what has happened.
it means that nothing shows they understand or acknowledge that players should preferrably have the decision earlier than 'last minute', to be able to play their best tennis, by being able to prepare with their full focus on actual playing conditions.
Evening conditions weren't a surprise, they followed perfectly the daytime conditions.
Well this is their business, what's there to praise? Doing what they should be doing?
i know it's not nice just to criticise things which weren't good without prasing the other thigs which were good, but this is a GS tournament, not some village tournament. Highs standards are expected at every aspect.
And I don't talk they should have made an early decision to close down the roof, for the whole discussion?
It's the most fair thing they could have done. Protecting the players from humidity plus temperature, but allowing them time and full focus to prepare for match conditions.
Plus if organizer was to set the indoor temperature, some information to both players about this would be fair, as it does influence stringing - at least for some players it does.
Wasn't this the most fair thing to do?
Indoors vs outdoors by iself doesn't matter much. Both players can play well in both conditions. Besides, even if it wasn't so, closing the roof down was justified by conditions, it was not decided out of nothing, so no arguing about having it indoors.
