Lee & Au Rise To
The Crocodile Challenge For Hong Kong
Max Lee
and Annie Au scored the predicted double for Hong Kong in the
Crocodile Challenge Cup, the men’s and women’s Tour event staged at the
Hong Kong Squash Centre in Hong Kong.
Women’s favourite
Annie Au only dropped one game en-route to the final of the $16,000 WISPA
World Tour event – where she faced second seed Joelle King, the
in-form New Zealander who was competing in her first Tour event since winning
surprise gold and silver medals in the Commonwealth Games in Delhi.
And world No21 King
romped to a two-game lead over the Hong Kong opponent ranked six places higher.
But, spurred on by
local supporters, 21-year-old Au fought back – surviving three tight games to
close out the match 8-11, 6-11, 11-9, 11-9, 11-9 after 69 minutes.
The triumph takes
left-hander Au’s WISPA Tour tally to three titles this year – and eight in her
career.
Top-seeded Max Lee
reached the final of the men’s $6,000 PSA World Tour event without too
much trouble – but then faced a qualifier after Egypt’s Marwan El Shorbagy
made a stunning debut overcoming a series of seeds en-route to making the
climax.
The 17-year-old
from Alexandria – younger brother of world No12 Mohamed El Shorbagy -
joins a select group of player who have reached the final in their first
appearance in a PSA Tour event.
But 22-year-old Lee
proved too strong for the teenage novice, beating El Shorbagy junior 11-8,
13-11, 11-4 in 48 minutes to claim the fourth Tour title of his career.
