Malisse to defend title

CHENNAI: Xavier Malisse of Belgium has confirmed his participation for Chennai Open 2008.

Malisse had a dream run last year, defeating World No.2 Rafael Nadal in the semifinals and Austrian Stefan Koubek in the final. Malisse also won the doubles with Dick Norman.

“It feels great to be back to the place where it all began,” said Malisse.

“I won back to back both singles and doubles title in 2007 and I really enjoyed playing at Chennai. I have had a spate of injuries this year and was not able to give a consistent performance. I like the surface at Chennai and I am extremely confident that I would be able to make a successful comeback and be able to defend my title.”

The 27-year-old Malisse was limited to five tournaments in 2007 because of an injury to his right wrist. — Special Correspondent
