Singapore too bright for stars

Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova were far from happy to be caught in the glare of the stadium lights at the WTA Finals in Singapore on Tuesday.

The third match of the tournament was held up briefly as both players complained of a lighting issue midway through their absorbing encounter.

Wozniacki emerged victorious in the three-hour marathon, but not before the Dane and her Russian opponent found conditions overhead a little too bright in the world No 8's 7-6 (4), 6-7 (5), 6-2 triumph.
