Malaysia has pulled out of this week's Fed Cup women's team tennis event after failing to find any players good enough to compete, an official of the Southeast Asian nation's tennis body said on Tuesday. The Lawn Tennis Association of Malaysia (LTAM) said they had reviewed some players but found none suitable to don the national colours.
"We had a look at a few players including two Swedish-based Malaysian-born talents but they were not good enough," LTAM executive secretary Ibrahim Abu Bakar told Malaysia's New Straits Times. "We withdrew from the tournament mainly because we could not get the best players to represent the country." Malaysia, who had hosted the tournament's Asia/Oceania leg last year, failed to muster the same players this time round.
