The Tourism Minister of Malaysia herself announced recently that the yearly event will take place on December 19-20.
The exhibition match will see Elena Dementieva, Maria Kirilenko (not Sharapova as promised in Showdown of Champions last year), Sania Mirza and Zheng Jie (in sequence).
It's time for local tennis fans to get to know more women tennis players other than Sharapova.
Personally, I think this is a smart move by the organisers who made this event sort of like a "women tennis preview' as we'll be having a WTA tennis tournament in February next year.
