13-Mar, Finals:
Briggs & Cuskelly Capture KL Crowns
England's Lauren Briggs and Australian Ryan Cuskelly emerged
triumphant in the finals of the NSC Series No3 event at the Bukit
Jalil National Squash Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Cuskelly, second seed in the men's event, faced surprise opponent
seventh seed Waqar Mehboob in the final. The 17-year-old had ousted
top-seeded compatriot Shahid Zaman in the quarter-finals en-route to
his first appearance in a Tour final.
But the New York-based 21-year-old from New South Wales was too
strong for Peshawar teenager Mehboob, winning 11-7, 11-8, 11-3 in 37
minutes to claim the third PSA title of his career – but the first
outside his home country.
Top seed Briggs came through a tough quarter-final in the women's
event – recovering from two games down to beat Australia's fifth
seed Lisa Camilleri.
The 29-year-old world No20 from London faced local star Sharon Wee
in the final. The Malacca-born 31-year-old – ranked five places
lower – was celebrating her second successive final appearance in
the NSC Series events in KL.
Wee battled for 30 minutes, but it was Briggs who prevailed, winning
11-4, 11-3, 11-8 to collect the fifth Tour title of her career in
her eighth final appearance.
