Success
Line Hansen
was taken the full
distance by local heroine Delia Arnold in today's (Thursday) final
of the women's NSC Squash Satellite No4 - but held her nerve to
secure a magnificent victory after an 81-minute marathon at the
National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil in the Malaysian capital
Kuala Lumpur.
Arnold, the third seed who reached the
final after upsetting top-seeded Hong Kong opponent Christina Mak
in the semi-finals, fought back from two games down to level the match -
then took a 4-0 lead in the decider.
But Hansen, the No2 seed from Denmark,
regained her composure to make up the deficit before clinching her
dramatic 9-1, 9-2, 9-10, 3-9, 9-7 victory.
The win brings to three the number of
WISPA World Tour titles the Dane has now chalked up at the Bukit Jalil
centre since May.
