 With an overwhelming response and support shown by the tennis fraternity from all over the country, the sport is definitely alive and vibrant. One thing for sure,this tournament is not for the faint hearted. Those who took part in Leg 2 of the National Circuit are now eager and looking forward to the next leg, which will be held in June. For this leg, the men’s singles prize money has been raised from RM4000 to RM5000. KLLTA will be host of this event.
The rigourous National circuit continues to be exciting, challenging and demanding but the rejuvenated Si Yew Ming, the National number 1 proved age is no barrier to success. A losing finalist, in the first leg, he showed grit and determination and outgunned Abdul Hazli Zainuddin, a former Davis Cupper 6-4,6-4 and pocketed the RM 4,000 prize money.
In the semifinals, Si Yew Ming defeated Ahmed Deedat, 7-6(4), 6-4 while In the other semifinals, Abdul Hazli, showed he still has some steam left overpowered Leg 1 Champion, Ariez Elyaas Deen Heesham,in a three setter, 2-6,6-4,6-1. For Ariez, this is one tournament he wanted to forget. Beginning from the quarter finals, he was streched by Syed Agil before winning 3 -6, 6-3, 7-6(3).
