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..
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.
