Hong
Kong Quintet Among Semi-finalists
The semi-finals of the City of Greater Shepparton International will be
dominated by Hong Kong, with five of the eight spots occupied by players
from the Asian nation, including with a trio of men who caused upsets on
the second day of competition in Australia.
Andes Ling came into the Challenger 3 level tournament as one of the
unseeded players, but he is through to the semi-finals after taking out
No.5 seed Navaneeth Prabhu. He needed less than half an hour to defeat
the Indian, allowing him to score just twelve points across three games.
He will now face the men’s top seed, Malaysia’s Hafiz Zhafri, in the
semi-finals.
The other men’s semi-final will be an all-Hong Kong clash, between two
surprise winners on the second day. No.8 seed Lam Shing Fung and No.6
seed Ho Ka Hei both won their respective quarter final contests against
No.2 seed Shady El Sherbiny and No.3 seed Laouenan Loaec in four games
to advance to the semis.
In the women’s event, the top four seeds all made it through to the last
four of the competition, but it was not plain sailing for home favourite
and top seed Sarah Cardwell. She had to go the distance to beat
Malaysia’s Yasshmita Jadishkumar in her quarter final, coming from 2-1
down to win 3-2 on home soil.
Cardwell will now face one of two Hongkongers into the women’s semis, in
No.4 seed Wai Sze Wing, who got the better of wildcard Jennifer Condie.
No.3 seed Toby Tse also made her way into the last four, and she will
face Japan’s No.2 seed Akari Midorikawa, the youngest winner on Tour
this season.
The semi-finals of the City of Greater Shepparton International will
take place on Saturday, July 9, with the last four in each draw going
head-to-head for places in Sunday’s finals at the Shepparton Squash
Centre in Victoria, Australia.
