Annie Wears Down Wee Wern In Seoul
Annie Au
notched up her fourth WISPA World Tour title of the year when she beat
Low Wee Wern in the final of the $20,000 Women's Seoul Open in
its fourth year in the South Korean capital Seoul.
Au, the event favourite from Hong
Kong, reached the final without dropping a game - and continued her march
through the event by beating second-seeded Malaysian Low Wee Wern 11-7,
11-7, 11-5.
The 21-year-old left-hander has
enjoyed a sparkling year in 2010 - not only winning Tour titles in Kuwait,
France and Hong Kong before her Seoul success, but also clinching the gold medal
in the World University Championships in Australia in July and finishing
as runner-up in last month's Asian Games in China.
But Au is bidding for further
success before the year is out - in India this week where she is fifth seed in
the $36,500 Women's Punj Lloyd WISPA Masters in New Delhi.
Top Seeds
Seeking Seoul Success
The top two
seeds Annie Au and Low Wee Wern will do battle for the Women's
Seoul Open title after coming through today's semi-finals of the $20,000
WISPA World Tour squash event in its fourth year in the South Korean capital
Seoul.
Au, the event
favourite from Hong Kong, clinched her third successive straight games win in
the event with an 11-8, 11-4, 11-7 victory over Malaysia's fourth seed Delia
Arnold.
The
21-year-old world No21 already has three Tour titles under her belt this year -
and was runner-up in last month's Asian Games in China.
In the other
semi-final, Malaysia's second seed Low Wee Wern stopped third seed
Donna Urquhart. But the 20-year-old world No15 from Penang needed four games
to overcome the Australian, ranked just a single place below, 11-6, 11-8, 7-11,
11-7.
Low Wee
Wern
is celebrating her 11th Tour final, but her first this year.
The final will
mark the two players' fourth WISPA Tour meeting since May 2007, with Au boasting
a 3/0 head-to-head lead.
Matsui Makes
Seoul Quarters
Chinatsu
Matsui
claimed a surprise place in the quarter-finals of the Women's Seoul Open
after a straight games victory over eighth seed Kylie Lindsay in the
opening round of the $20,000 WISPA World Tour squash event in its fourth
year in Seoul in South Korea.
The unseeded
33-year-old from Japan defeated New Zealander Lindsay 11-7, 13-11, 11-7 at the
Kimpo Airport Shopping Mall, and will now line up against Donna
Urquhart for a place in the last four.
Australian
Urquhart, the No3 seed, beat Japan's Misaki Kobayashi 12-10, 11-6, 8-11,
11-3.
