Home Hero Yuen Wins KL Crown
Ivan Yuen
provided a popular home win in today's final of the NSC SRAM Series
No1 in Malaysia - but for the second day in a row the top seed from
Kuala Lumpur had to fight back from two games down before
clinching the PSA World Tour Challenger 5 squash title at the
Bukit Jalil National Squash Centre in the Malaysian capital.
It was after surviving
a 73-minute five-game semi-final marathon against fellow countryman
Elvinn Keo that 22-year-old Yuen reached the fifth Tour final of his
career.
His surprise opponent
was Ahmed Atef Abdel-Fattah, an unseeded Egyptian who enjoyed a
sensational run of form in only his fifth appearance in a Tour event -
making his debut final after overcoming India's No3 seed Mahesh
Mangaonkar in a semi-final which lasted only five minutes short of
two hours!
And the 19-year-old
outsider from Cairo - ranked 291 in the world - took the opening two
games against Yuen as a major shock looked on the cards.
But Yuen, the world
No73, held his nerve and rallied to a 10-12, 6-11, 11-5, 11-1, 11-8
victory after 66 minutes to claim the second Tour title of his career.
