Malaysia Celebrate Asian Squash Double
Top seeds Mohd Azlan Iskandar and Nicol David celebrated the fifth successive Malaysian double in the Asian Squash Championships - but did so in contrasting styles in the 14^th staging of the biennial event in Kuwait.

In the men's final, Iskandar was made to battle for exactly two hours by compatriot Ong Beng Hee - the defending champion, ranked two places lower in the world - before winning 5-9, 8-10, 9-5, 9-0, 9-7 to secure the title for the first time.

The match was a repeat of the 2006 final in Chinese Taipei, in which Beng Hee won the regional title for a fourth successive time.

But, arguably, the standout performance in the men's event was made by 20-year-old Abdullah Almezayen - a 9/16 seed who upset Pakistan's 5/8 seed Yasir Butt 9-3, 10-9, 4-9, 5-9, 10-8 in 98 minutes in the last sixteen before overcoming India's 3/4 seed Saurav Ghosal in a 72-minute quarter-final to become the first Kuwaiti to reach the semi-finals this decade.

The women's event saw Malaysia's Nicol David confirm her status as the undisputed Queen of Asian Squash when she beat long-time Hong Kong rival Rebecca Chiu 9-5, 9-2, 9-2 in 34 minutes in the final.

David, voted the 'Asian Sportswoman of the Year' in December, has now won the prestigious title for a remarkable six times in a row - since first claiming the crown in 1998 as a 14-year-old!

The triumph also marks the fourth Asian Championship final in which David has beaten Chiu - and brings the total of her regional singles titles (including the Asian Games and Asian Junior Championships) to ten!
