The top two seeds at the Malaysian Open, Kuala Lumpur, David Ferrer and Feliciano Lopez, visited KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital in downtown Kuala Lumpur on Monday.

The ATP stars participated in a friendly match of mini tennis with executive hospital staff and paid a special visit to the children’s ward, where they interacted playfully with young kids and presented them with tennis gifts.

Ferrer, who is No. 8 in the Emirates ATP Race to London, makes his fifth appearance in Kuala Lumpur, having reached the semi-finals in 2010 and 2012. Lopez is playing at the event in the Malaysian capital for the third time.

“It was very nice,” said Ferrer. “We had the chance to play with the kids and support them. I’ve never been to this hospital and it’s a good experience. I enjoyed playing with the kids and the chance to see their smiles. It’s important to support them and I hope they recover soon.

“It’s nice to come back to Kuala Lumpur again. I hope to have a good tournament.”

“I’ve visited many hospitals in Spain,” said Lopez. “My mum is a nurse, so during Christmas I visit some kids at the hospital where she works. It’s a great feeling when you bring smiles to their faces and make them happy. It was a great experience here.”
