Au wins Squash Player’s Player of the Month award
 Hong
Kong’s Leo Au has won Squash Player’s Player of the Month for the first
time after winning his maiden Asian Games gold medal.
The 28-year-old joint third seed defeated the top two seeds in
Indonesia to deliver a first Asian Games men’s singles triumph for his
country.
First Au overcame Indian favourite Saurav Ghosal 3/2 in the
semi-finals after trailing 2/0 and then he beat team-mate and second
seed Max Lee 3/1 in the first all-Hong Kong men’s final.
Lee held a career 10-7 head-to-head advantage over Au going into the
match, but he had lost to the lower-ranked Au in the Hong Kong National
Championship final in June, when the world no.19 retired at 2/2.
World no.21 Au carried on where he left off on home soil to defeat
Lee 11-8, 12-10, 6-11, 11-4 in Jakarta.
