 Four for David as Abdullah comeback
stops Saurav
...
Nicol
David claimed a record fourth Asian Gamed Gold medal as
she came from a game down to beat fellow-Malaysian Low Wee
Wern in the women's final in Incheon.
"This is a
special Gold medal win for me having both Wee Wern and
myself in the finals here at the Asian Games.
"It was a tough battle out there having to beat her but I
managed to get through in four games. Certainly a proud
moment seeing for the first time two Malaysian flags fly
high as gold and silver while standing on the medal podium.
"Now it's back into it with the team events and will hope to
keep this momentum going."
 In
a dramatic men's final Abdullah
Almezayen was two games down to top seed Saurav Ghosal
before staging a comeback that saw the 5/8 seed edge the
third game 14-12 after saving a match ball, then completing a third successive upset as he beat the top-seeded Indian 11-9 in the fifth
to give Kuwait a first-ever Asian Games squash medal.

David beat India's Dipika Pallikal 11/4, 11/4, 11/5 while
Low despatched Hong Kong's Annie Au 11/9, 11/4, 11/5.
Top men's seed Saurav
Ghosal became the first Indian to make the final as he
beat Ong Beng Hee in straight games 11/9, 11/4, 11/4, and in
the last and longest match of the day Kuwait's Abdullah

21-Sep, Day Two,
Quarter-Finals:
Quarter-finals day in Incheon, and it was once again a good
day for the seeding committee with the last match of the day
producing the only upset.
 In
the women's draw top seeds Nicol David and Low Wee
Wern stayed on course for an all-Malaysian final as they
beat Misaki Kobayashi and Joey Chan.
Low will meet Hong Kong's Annie Au for a place in the
final while David meets Dipika Pallikal, who won a
marathon all-Indian match against her Commonwealth Gold
partner Joshana Chinappa, 11-9 in the fifth after 87
minutes.
 There's
only one Malaysian left in the men's draw though - Ong
Beng Hee won in four close games against Le Au, but
Nafiizwan Adnan, seeded 3/4 like Ong, lost out in four games
to Kuwait's Abdullah Almezayen.
Ong will face top-seeded Indian Saurav Ghosal for a
place in the final while Almezayen meets Max Lee, the
second seed from Hong Kong. Ghosal beat Pakistan's Nasir
Iqbal in four while Lee survived a five-setter against
Qatar's Abdullah Al Tamimi.

20-Sep, Day One:
All seeds through to Quarters ...
 After
the opening ceremony, it's down to business on the squash
courts in Incheon, with men's and women's draws getting down
to the quarter-finals.
There were no surprises in the women's first round as all
eight seeds won through to the last eight, and it was the
same story in the men's draw, the last match of the day
being the closest and longest as Qatar's Abdulla Al Tamimi
squeezed past Kuwait's Ammar Altamimi in five games.
