Munirah Jusoh Wins
First WSA Title In NSC Series No2
Siti Munirah Jusoh claims
maiden title after beating Liu Tsz-Ling in the NSC Series No2 2012 final
in Kuala Lumpur.
The world No43 from Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia, won her first ever WSA
title since starting the tour in 2004, despite having played in six
finals previously.
Munirah Jusoh progressed through the event without dropping a game,
before reaching Tsz-Ling in the final. She then dispatched her opponent
from Hong Kong, 11-4, 7-11, 12-10, 11-7.
The draw for the event heavily featured a contesting local contingent of
players, and Tsz-Ling was one of just three first round entrants not of
Malaysian descent. Carmen Lee, also of Hong Kong made it as far as the
quarter finals, but Mi Jin Kim of South Korea was forced to concede a
walkover in the first round.
