Four representatives of Malaysia will be given the wild card entry in the 2015 Malaysian Open Tennis Championships, which offers prize money worth RM 4, 526, 239, according to the Lawn Tennis Association Malaysia (LTAM) and sponsors IMG.
Syed Mohd Agil Syed Naguib, Ahmad Deedat Abdul Razak and Mohd Ashaari Zainal Abidin will compete in the men singles category, while Mohd Assri Merzuki will be partnering national no.1 Syed Mohd Agil in the men doubles event of the competition, which takes place starting this September 26th to October 4th.
LTAM president Tan Sri Abdul Razak Latiff said the entry has proved there is an improvement among Malaysian players since the Malaysian Open was introduced seven years ago.
“We are truly excited for our players to be joining the tournament through the wild card rounds. The experience that they will gain against ATP world class players will be valuable, in producing our own talented players who can join the ATP Tours in Kuala Lumpur and worldwide,” he told Berita Harian.
The 2015 edition of Malaysian Open will be graced by popular names of the tennis world, notably Frenchman Richard Gasquet, world no. 7 David Ferrer and “½ Kampung Kid” Nick Kyrgious.
