The first Borneo International Pickleball Open began on Friday at The Good Club in Kota Kinabalu, with about 536 players from Malaysia, Singapore, the United States, China and Taiwan. Permanent Secretary Datuk Josie Lai opened the three-day event, which ends on Sunday, October 18, and is run by Borneo Kelab Rekreasi Pickleball together with Megas Mind Creative & Development.
The club's nine courts, six indoor and three outdoor, cost more than RM3 million and opened only last month, director Ryan Chu said. Hong Kong celebrity Hugo Wong joined Lai for an opening invitation match.
