Corren & Swartz Celebrate Super Satellite Successes
South African Tenille Swartz and Mike Corren of Australia celebrated
hard-fought successes in the finals of the NSC Super Satellite No1
at the National Squash Centre at Bukit Jalil in the Malaysian
capital Kuala Lumpur.
Corren, the KL-based top seed who celebrated his 34th birthday this
week, battled for 65 minutes in the final to overcome New Zealander
Campbell Grayson, the fifth seed, to earn the 17th PSA Tour
title of his career.
Making her first appearance on the WISPA World Tour this year,
second seed Tenille Swartz survived tough tussles in the quarters
and semis before lining up to face top-seeded local favourite Sharon
Wee, the world No21, in the final.
But the 20-year-old world No30, in only her second Tour final,
romped to a 31-minute victory to maintain her 100% record in WISPA
finals.Men's Draw
