–
A lot of makeup matches Thursday in Marrakech and Houston.
Marrakech only got two matches completed, and two more doubles matches interrupted, during a struggling Wednesday. But they basically caught up.
Houston was even worse. Nothing got completed Wednesday, or Thursday.
Estoril is just rollling along.
(Houston is one hour behind EDT; Marrakech is four hours ahead, and Estoril is five hours ahead).
