The Malaysia (Closed) Soft Tennis Championships 2026 concluded today at the Kota Kinabalu Sports Complex. Lam Bao Long from Kuala Lumpur emerged as the new men's champion, dethroning the reigning titleholder Peraljit Singh with a 5-2 victory in the final. In the women's category, local favorite Euodia Lai secured the top spot after a dominant round-robin performance where she won all of her matches.

This tournament served as the primary selection platform for the national team. Following the finals, the Malaysia Soft Tennis Association (MSTA) announced the shortlist of players who will represent the country in upcoming international fixtures, including the Korea Cup and China Cup. The success of the event in Sabah has led to discussions about hosting more regional championships in East Malaysia later this year.
