Shahid Zaman & Line Hansen Win KL Satellite Titles
Pakistan's Shahid Zaman and Denmark's
Line Hansen claimed their second successive Tour titles in Malaysia
with convincing victories in the finals of the NSC Squash Satellite No4
at the Bukit Jalil National Squash Centre in
Kuala Lumpur.
For top seed Zaman it was the second time in seven days that he had faced
Australian Mike Corren in a PSA Tour final.
After reaching the climax without dropping a game, Zaman fought back from
a game down to beat Corren 7-11, 11-4, 11-5, 13-11 in 31 minutes to net
the sixth Tour title of his career.
It was the final day of a two-week visa for Zaman in
Malaysia - and the player risked arrest for competing in the match.
"I was under a lot of pressure," Shahid told reporters. "There was a
chance that they could have arrested me but I was ready to take that risk.
"Thank God I didn’t give him (Corren) a walk-over," said Zaman after
getting his stay in the country extended following a visit to the
Malaysian immigration department just hours before the final.
In the women's WISPA World Tour event final,
favourite Hansen took on surprise opponent Low Wee Wern, the fifth
seed from
Malaysia who had overcome two higher-seeded opponents to
reach the climax.
But Hansen was too strong for the 17-year-old Asian Junior
Champion, winning 9-6, 10-8, 9-4 in 36 minutes.
