17-May, Semis:
Au's run continues into KL final
18-year-old
Annie Au, the Asian Junior champion, continued her fine run
in Kuala Lumpur as she defeated Margriet Huisman, the second seed
from the Netherlands, in the semi-finals. Au now meets top seed
Line Hansen after the Dane ended home interest in the women's
event with a straight games win over Delia Arnold.
There will be a home player in the men's final though, as second
seed
Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan squeezed home in a five-game thriller
over James Snell. The hoped-for all-Malaysian final is not to be
however - Egypt's top-seeded Ali Anwar Reda beat the
younger Adnan brother in straight games. |
Adnan brothers on course
for Kuala Lumpur final
Malaysian brothers Nafzahizam Adnan and Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan are
on course to meet in the second PSA final in their home town in
a month after surviving thequarter-finals of the NSC Satellite
No2 at the National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil in Kuala
Lumpur.
Second seed Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan, the younger of the pair and
winner of the April clash, took just 24 minutes to beat Egyptian
qualifier Karim AGA Samy, and will now face England's sixth seed
James Snell for a place in the final.
Nafzahizam, the 22-year-old third seed, battled through three
tie-break games before overcoming compatriot qualifier Elvinn
Keo in 53 minutes. His semi-final opponent will be Egypt's top
seed Mohd Ali Anwar Reda.
Hong Kong's fifth seed Annie Au produced the only upset in the
women's event when she beat Malaysia's Lim Yoke Wah, the fourth
seed, in 43 minutes.
The 18-year-old Asian Junior champion will now take on Margriet
Huisman, the second seed from the Netherlands who defeated local
player Nessrine Ariffin. |

Malaysians thrive in NSC round one
Local players scored notable upsets in the first round of the
NSC Squash Satellite No2 at the National Squash Centre in Bukit
Jalil in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur.
Qualifier Muhd Asyraf Azan, aged 18, claimed the biggest scalp
when he beat England's No4 seed Neil Hitchens 3/2. Fellow
Malaysian qualifier Elvinn Keo also removed a seed, defeating
Spain's No5 seed David Vidal.
The youngest triumph was achieved in the women's event where
15-year-old Nessrine Ariffin beat Sweden's No8 seed Josefa
