Adnan Secures Second
Satellite Title In KL
Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan
clinched his second PSA Tour title in his home city of Kuala
Lumpur in two months today (Friday) when he beat Egyptian Wael Farag
in a hard-fought final of the NSC Squash Satellite No4 at
the National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil, Malaysia.
The 21-year-old top seed
defeated Farag 11-8, 10-11 (1-3), 11-10 (5-3), 11-3 in 44 minutes to add the
Satellite No4 title to the NSC Satellite No1 crown he earned in
April.
It was a disappointing
outcome for the unseeded 17-year-old Egyptian who was celebrating his first
appearance in a Tour final after dismissing a trio of seeded Malaysians -
including No3 seed Shahril Shahidan - en-route to the climax.
Adnan Is Lone Seed In KL
Satellite Semis
Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan
is in sight of his fourth appearance in a PSA Tour event final in
Kuala Lumpur since April - but the 21-year-old Malaysian is the only
top-four seed to have reached the semi-finals of the NSC Squash Satellite
No4 after a four-game victory in today's (Wednesday) quarter-finals at the
National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil, Malaysia.
Adnan needed 43 minutes to
despatch fellow Malaysian Ivan Yuen 7-11, 11-7, 11-7, 11-10 (3-1). His
next opponent will be Malaysian qualifier Kamran Khan, who beat Hong
Kong's Max Lee 11-7, 11-7, 11-8.
The chance of an Adnan family
final was thwarted when sixth seed Elvinn Keo upset second seed
Nafzahizam Adnan 11-7, 7-11, 11-6, 11-9. Keo's opponent in the other
semi-final will be unseeded Egyptian Wael Farag - the 11-8, 11-4, 11-7
victor over fifth-seeded Malaysian Muhd Asyraf Azan.
Semi-final line-up:
[1] Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan (MAS)
v [Q] Kamran Khan (MAS)
[6] Elvinn Keo (MAS) v Wael
Farag (EGY)
