MAS F6 - Jesse Huta Galung (champion) with scoreboard

The last of three consecutive $10,000 ITF Futures tournaments to be held in Kuala Lumpur saw the tournament end in a triumph for Jesse Huta Galung from the Netherlands who claimed both the Singles and Doubles titles at the National Tennis Centre in Kuala Lumpur.

Huta Galung, the No. 1 seed with an ATP ranking of 305, overcame a tough opening set in the final to eventually defeat unseeded Croatian Marin Bradaric in straight sets 76(2) 63. With partner and fellow countryman Miliaan Niesten, they denied Siarhei Betau and Dzmitry Zhyrmont, both from Belarus, what would have been their third consecutive doubles title by winning the doubles final 62 46 [10-6].
