“After a very long road and much consideration and thought, IMG are in the final stages of discussion and will be making some very tough decisions in regards to the future of this tournament next week,” the organizers posted on their Facebook page.
The Malaysian Open, Kuala Lumpur 2014 tournament is scheduled to take place from September 22 to September 28. This ATP 250 hardcourt event signals the start of the Asian swing of tournaments.
