Seeds Shuja & Wee Take NSC Titles In
Malaysia
New Zealand's Kashif Shuja and Malaysia's
Sharon Wee secured the latest NSC squash titles in Malaysia after
contrasting victories in the semi-finals at the Jalan Duta National Squash
Centre in the capital Kuala Lumpur.
Shuja, the
top seed from Auckland, beat fourth-seeded Indian Ritwik Bhattacharya
11-9, 11-9, 8-11, 11-10 (2-0) in the final of the men's
NSC 1 Star
No2 Championship
in 36 minutes to win his second successive PSA Tour title - and the
seventh of his career.
After claiming a place in squash history by becoming the first Japanese player
to reach a Tour final, Chinatsu Matsui was unable to resist the challenge
of Sharon Wee as the top seed from
Malaysia beat the eighth seed 9-4, 9-3, 9-4 in the
final of the Women's NSC Tour 10
No2 Championship in 35 minutes.
Wee is
also celebrating her seventh WISPA World Tour title.
Matsui Makes History In
Malaysia
Chinatsu Matsui
claimed a
place in squash history in
Malaysia
when she became the first Japanese player to reach a Tour final.
Seeded eight and competing in her 39th
WISPA
World Tour
event, Matsui upset
India's No3 seed Joshna Chinappa 9-6, 10-9,
9-7 in a 51-minute final of the Women's
NSC Tour 10 No2 Championship
at the Jalan Duta National Squash Centre in
Kuala Lumpur.
The
30-year-old from Kawasaki will now face local star Sharon Wee for the
title - after the top-seeded Malaysian ended the run of unseeded Australian
Donna Urquhart, winning 9-3, 9-6, 9-1 in just 22 minutes to claim her 14th
appearance in a
WISPA
final.
The
favourite will also take on an unexpected opponent in the final of the men's
NSC 1 Star No2 Championship.
New Zealand's top seed Kashif Shuja need four games to overcome Hong
Kong's unseeded Dick Lau 11-6, 11-6, 7-11, 11-7 in the semi-final in the
top half of the draw.
The Pakistan-born favourite, now in his 14th
PSA Tour
final, will face Ritwik Bhattacharya - after the fourth seed from India
beat Australia's Mike Corren 11-9, 9-11, 9-11, 11-7, 11-3 in the other
semi-final to earn his ninth Tour final appearance.
Low
Better Than Peta In Jalan Duta
In the opening day of action in the NSC No2 Squash Championships
at the Jalan Duta National Squash Centre in
Kuala Lumpur
there were upsets in both the men's PSA Tour 1-star and women's
WISPA Tour 10 events in the Malaysian capital.
Local
17-year-old Low Wee Wern claimed the biggest scalp in the women's event -
upsetting
Australia's second seed Peta Hughes 9-4, 2-9, 10-8, 9-4.
England's
No6 seed Suzie Pierrepont also crashed out to an unseeded opponent -
beaten 9-2, 9-4, 6-9, 8-10, 9-3 in 50 minutes by Australia's Donna Urquhart.
The local
hero in the men's event was Nafzahizam Adnan. The 22-year-old from KL
twice came from behind to beat Pakistan's No8 seed Arshad Iqbal Burki
6-11, 11-7, 7-11, 11-10 (2-0), 11-8 in 61 minutes.
Hong

11-6.
