Second on the schedule is the Kuala Lumpur Open, which will mark a return to 9Pickle from May 14-17. The Malaysia capital played host to an epic men’s doubles final in 2025 between Eric Oncins/Tyson McGuffin and Ben Johns/Christian Alshon in front of a highly energized crowd.

 

The third stop announced is the Macao Open, which will bring the tour to China from May 28-31.
