Reda & Arnold Win KL Titles
Egypt's Mohd Ali Anwar Reda and Malaysia's Delia Arnold claimed the NSC
Squash Satellite No3 titles in Malaysia - Reda winning his second PSA Tour
trophy in a week and Arnold picking up her maiden WISPA World Tour crown at the
National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.
Top seed Reda denied local organisers a home double when he beat KL-based
Nafzahizam Adnan, the third seed, 5-11, 11-3, 11-3, 11-3 in the men's final in
40 minutes.
It was the 18-year-old from Cairo's second win over Adnan in a week - though
this time 22-year-old Nafzahizam stretched the Egyptian to four games.
The triumph marks up Reda's third career PSA Tour title.
"It feels great to finally win my first professional title," said 21-year-old
Delia Arnold after her 9-2, 9-5, 9-2 victory - also in 40 minutes - over fellow
Malaysian Lim Yoke Wah in the women's final.
Third seed Arnold made her breakthrough in the semi-finals when she upset second
seed Margriet Huisman to secure a surprise place in the final. The KL-based
Malaysian was too strong for her training partner in the final as she clinched
the title without dropping a game throughout the tournament.
Adnan Stops Sandhu In KL Satellite
Egypt's top seed Mohd Ali Anwar Reda will face third seed Nafzahizam
Adnan in the final of the NSC Squash Satellite No3 at the National Squash Centre
in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, just a week after meeting the Malaysian's brother
Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan in the final of the No2 Satellite event.
Reda survived two tie-break games to beat England's No4 seed Neil Hitchens 11-10
(4-2), 11-7, 8-11, 11-10 (2-0) in 47 minutes, while the older Adnan brother
ended Harinder Pal Sandhu's brave run when he overcame the unseeded Indian 5-11,
11-8, 11-9, 11-5.
Reda, 18, from Cairo, is celebrating his fourth PSA Tour final appearance while
22-year-old Adnan, from KL, is marking his second.
There will be a surprise all-Malaysian final in the women's WISPA World Tour
event when fourth seed Lim Yoke Wah takes on Delia Arnold, the third seed. Lim
Yoke Wah dashed Annie Au's hopes of a third successive KL Satellite final
appearance when she beat the fifth seed from Hong Kong 9-7, 9-3, 9-4 to reach
her maiden Tour final.
In the other semi-final, Arnold delighted the local crowd when she upset second
seed Margriet Huisman, from the Netherlands, 9-0, 9-6, 9-6 in 58 minutes to
secure her third WISPA final appearance.
