omigod! Fedex and Nadal to play in Shah Alam?!
Am I dreaming or what? Slap me. Pinch me. Omigod! Can you believe it? Can you actually believe that Federer and Nadal are going to play in Malaysia? And my tennis hero of all time, Pete Sampras whom I watched playing on television since I was a kid is going to join those top players as well in Shah Alam.
I googled for Nadal's latest updates at Hamburg Open and to my surprise, I came across this news from The News Straits Times online.
I'm already planning a trip to Bangkok Open this September when I know that Nadal is going to be there. But having my favourite clay court specialist in my homeland is something I can't imagine of! Oh my, am I still dreaming?
Despite all the things our Tourism Minister said about bloggers, I'm going to love him for one second because he's going to officially announce the exhibition match this Wednesday. I just hope the tickets are not going to cost a fortune or I'll just go to Bangkok instead. And I'm not sure if it's going to be easy to get a ticket. Anyone running the event, please contact me about the details on ticketing (if you are interested to find volunteers, you can drop me a line too).
It's Visit Malaysia Year and there's no better way to promote our country than to have these top players playing in our country.

Great News for tennis fans. The best tennis players currently are coming and also tennis legend, Pete Sampras.
I may go to watch this exhibition match. :)
-
sam: haha...great to hear that you are getting interested in tennis. Will let you guys know the details once the tourism minister make the announcement.
-
i may not be a tennis fan but if it's true... i will go watch...
-
zewt: yeah, it's definitely worth it to see the top players here in our country.
-
Wah I'm plan to go too! How can we miss that.
-
The anoucement has been made. No Nadal. Only Fedex Vs Pistol Pete.
-
che-cheh: yeah, can't miss this one.
sam: the star didn't mentioned about Nadal. But NST did mentioned Nadal is going to play with a mystery player.

Fingers crossed that it will happen. Just hope there will be a good crowd. If Nadal's coming then i might not go to Thailand Open for the 3rd straight year as it's always during fasting month! But if I go, maybe we could meet up there. Truth be told, I'd prefer Agassi-Sampras anyday. More even and what I'd give to see Andre again in the flesh. (Proud to say that I saw him in his last Slam final at US Open 05). Damn I miss Dre!!
I'm sure the exhibition wont be just for VIP and special invites - it would be a waste to invite them only for a select bunch.
