Fans in for a double treat in November
KUALA LUMPUR: Tennis fans are in for treat in November with exhibition matches featuring Roger Federer against Rafael Nadal and Bjorn Borg against John McEnroe.
Lawn Tennis Association of Malaysia (LTAM) executive secretary Jaafar Abu said yesterday that the four had confirmed participation in the “Countdown of Champions”, set for Nov 18 at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil.
“Last year, we had Pete Sampras and Richard Gasquet along with Nadal and Federer,” he said.
World No. 1 Federer will get another chance to avenge his defeats by world No. 2 Nadal in the finals of the French Open and Wimbledon this year.
Borg, 52, and McEnroe, 49, will take the fans a chance to walk down memory lane, remembering the highs and lows of their bitter rivalry, typified by the 1980 Wimbledon final won by Borg in five gruelling sets. – AFP

Wah wah wahhh...how come I didn't see it in today's paper. Must check back the Star. YAHOOOO!!!!
Btw you've been to Stadium Putra? Is it the size of Satdium Malawati or bigger? If bigger eh... we might not be able to view our stars in 'near' condition. Eeekk!

Che-Cheh: It's just a small section, 3rd page from the back. NST, Malay Mail, international papers also got mention.
I've never been to Stadium Putra but I guess it's kinda similar size. But I bet it's definitely in better condition ;)
-
hehe~~ I know Nadal and Federer were the no1 and no2 players but i hardly watch tennis. So, hopefully I will enjoy watching them playing if and when they are in Malaysia. :)
-
Yay yay yay! :)
And I think Stadium Putra is slightly bigger than Malawati but who cares!
Bring on the tickets now! :D
-
I can't wait too, HC.
I went to Putra Stadium many times for some international concerts, musc more bigger than the one in Malawati, you're right Niki, who cares!!!:P
I'd probably in Shanghai TMC at that time, i'll see what i can do to adjust my schedule.:)
