PETALING JAYA: The organisers of the “Clash of Titans” between three-time French Open tennis champion Rafael Nadal and Wimbledon semi-finalist Richard Gasquet have given an assurance that the match will be held as scheduled at the Malawati Stadium in Shah Alam on Nov 20.

They announced yesterday that both players would be on the same flight from Shanghai to Kuala Lumpur on Nov 19 after their participation in the ATP Tennis Masters Cup.

The match is one of the three events of the Malaysia Independence Tennis Festival, which also features the “Clash of Times” between Pete Sampras and Roger Federer on Nov 22 in Shah Alam and the Malaysian Open ATP Challenger Series tournament at the National Tennis Centre in Kuala Lumpur from Nov 17-25.


The chief executive officer of First Events Promotions Sdn Bhd, Adlin Zabri, said: “The Clash of Titans and the Clash of Times are both 100% confirmed. The players are coming to Malaysia. In fact, they will be in Malaysia in a few days' time.

“Preparations for the events are progressing very well. This is Nadal’s first appearance in South-East Asia and it is great that Malaysia are the hosts. We are very thankful to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Lawn Tennis Association and the National Sports Council for all of their support.”
