Muhd Asyraf Azan & Low Wee Wern Celebrate Domestic Double In KL
Hosts Malaysia
celebrated a surprise double in the NSC Series No10 championships when
Muhd Asyraf Azan and Low Wee Wern lifted both titles in the
international squash circuit event at the Bukit Jalil National Squash
Centre in Kuala Lumpur.
Seventh seed
Muhd Asyraf Azan made his breakthrough in the men's $10,000 PSA World
Tour event when he upset fellow countryman Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan, the
No4 seed, in an 83-minute quarter-final marathon.
After overcoming
England's Joe Lee - surprise quarter-final conqueror of top-seeded
Hungarian Mark Krajcsak - in a 75-minute semi-final, Azan faced unseeded
Frenchman Gregoire Marche in the final.
Marche was enjoying
his second successive successful run in KL after reaching the semi-finals of the
NSC Series No9 event a week earlier as a qualifier. This time, the
19-year-old from Aix-en-Provence reached the final after back-to-back wins over
Switzerland's third seed Nicolas Mueller - last week's winner in KL - and
second-seeded Pakistani Yasir Butt.
It was another
lengthy battle in the final for Azan, but the 21-year-old from Kuala Lumpur
ultimately prevailed 8-11, 11-9, 11-5, 9-11, 11-6 over Marche in 78 minutes to
record his first PSA Tour title success in his maiden appearance in a final.
It was a different
story for Low Wee Wern in the women's $4,000 WISPA World Tour
event where the top-seeded 19-year-old from Penang collected her second Tour
title in a week at the Bukit Jalil National Squash Centre.
But the favourite
was extended to more than three games for the first time in both tournaments in
the final by Japan's Chinatsu Matsui, the fifth seed who upset South
Korea's No2 seed Song Sun-Mi in the quarter-finals.
Low Wee Wern
recovered from a game down, however, to overcome 32-year-old Matsui 5-11, 11-3,
11-2, 11-6 in 33 minutes to win the fourth WISPA title of her career.
