Unlike other Sundays when things are slow moving and at a relaxed pace, this Sunday differed from others, especially at the Bukit Kiara Equestrian and Country Resort, as the winners from the second stage of the qualifying round of the on-going BMW Malaysian Open 2011 squared off against one another to decide who progresses further into the tournament.
Today’s eight matches took place on the Centre Court and Court One only, with Court Two taken out of the equation for the day. The first set of matches began simultaneously on Centre Court and Court One at 10am.
