Malaysian Open (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

Feliciano Lopez and Vasek Pospisil tried out traditional Malaysian cooking at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur. The duo cooked up a delicious dish with chicken and rice called “Nasi Goreng Durian”.

“It was fun,” said Lopez. “I really enjoyed it, but I think I have to improve my abilities in the kitchen.”

“It’s my second time cooking, but I’m not a very good chef,” added Pospisil. “I’ve had some nice local dishes [in Kuala Lumpur]. It’s one of the reasons I like coming back here; the food is delicious.”

Lopez, along with David Ferrer, also brought cheer to children at the KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital. The Spaniards participated in a friendly match of mini tennis with hospital staff after bringing gifts to kids in the children’s ward.

Fifth seed Viktor Troicki and seventh seed Nick Kyrgios visited Kuala Lumpur’s Skyrides Festivals Park, where a helium balloon theme park is one of the various attractions. The pair also took a boat ride on the scenic Putrajaya Lake.

Grigor Dimitrov and Ferrer tried their hands at musical instruments at the Malaysia Tourist Centre.

 

Shenzhen Open (Shenzhen, China)

Marin Cilic toured the Juan Carlos Ferrero Academy and had a great time doing tennis drills with around 50 kids.

Tuesday night, Berdych, Cilic, Robredo, Guillermo Garcia-Lopez and Robert Lindstedt were among those to attend the player party on the 40th floor of the Shangri-la. The guests enjoyed great views, a band and delicious food, and left their handprints (literally) in a piece of artwork.

Berdych, Robredo, Cilic and Garcia-Lopez also participated in autograph sessions with local Shenzhen fans at the tournament.
