No Sharapova? This is no fun at all. I don’t even know who are the players coming. Can I ask something? Why does the gov keep feeding us with tennis? They should spend money on building tennis courts for Malaysian kids instead.
Jit, if you don’t know the players coming, that means you are not really a tennis fan. These kind of events will expose Malaysians to world class quality tennis, not to mention it will inspire future national tennis stars..
peyton, u sure Malaysia got so many tennis fans? if tickets cannot sell, please send me a free ticket ok? hehe
Lol…..Malaysia really lies. i tought maria sharapova coming this year ? last year the showdown of champions write maria coming on 2009 ! This should give me a free ticket! =.= ! I still got the book! behind says maria coming 2009! please dont lie !
yeah… I still have the book too… they promised Sharapova and now giving us Kirilenko whose career is going down hill… don’t think we don’t know how to differentiate between the 2 Maria
By the way where the heck is Stadium Malawati? Why in Shah Alam?
guys, I think Sharapova was suppose to come, but due to her injuries, etc , maybe she had to cancel. I’m sure the organizers would LOVE to have Sharapova here but hey, the other players are big name tennis stars as well..
Sharapova recovered from injury long time ago lar

Henry,
GO to the website and check out the latest update session – program tentative. Schedule is all there…hope it helps..
is the ticket still available???for sunday show???
With all the fuss about this Showdown of Champions nowhere that I have tried tells you the game schedule and most important the bloody time when the games start!!! @#*&!!So much for promoting Tennis in this country!
Attended the singles matches on 20 December 2009. IT WAS FULL OF SHIT!!!!!
1)I had to run around to find out the time of the matches. No where is it mentioned – not on the tickets, not on the website, called the tickethotline number and no one answers the phone, nothing mentioned in the newspaper either!Finally I had to drive to the stadium on Saturday and asked the moron of a girl at the ticket booth and she told me 7.30pm
2) Was at the stadium on Sunday by 6.45pm
3) At the West entrance we were told no drinks or food to be brought inside
the Stadium and we were not allowed to leave the stadium for
refreshments either.The blessed match didnt start till 8.35pm and went
on till past midnight!Can you imagine how hungry and thirsty one can
get?
4) The external of the stadiums grossly lacked basic maintenance. Its a
big shame to Malaysia and especially the state of Selangor
5) To the bloddy organisers – get your act together in a more professional
manner and consideration!!
