16-Aug, Final:
Home Double in KL
 Nafiizwan
Adnan and Delia Arnold made it a double home celebration
in Kuala Lumpur's National Squash Centre as both beat Hong Kong
opponents in the finals to claim the latest NSC series titles.
Adnan, seeded two, recovered from a game down to beat qualifier Wong
Wai Hang while Arnold, the 22-year-old sixth seed, scored her best
ever victory in beating top seed Rebecca Chiu, the world number 14,
also coming from a game down.
The win marks Arnold's third WISPA title, and a fourth PSA title for
Adnan, all won in the NSC series events.

15-Aug, Semis:
It's Hong Kong v Malaysia in KL
Both finals of the latest NSC event in Kuala Lumpur's National
Squash Centre will be between players from Hong Kong and hosts
Malaysia.
Wong Wai Hang, the many-time HK champion, won the battle of
the qualifiers as he overcame Malaysian youngster Ivan Yuen in four
games, and faces another home challenge in the final after second
seed Nafiizwan Adnan beat Asyraf Adnan, who had defeated the
younger of the Adnan brothers in the quarter-finals.
In the women's event top seed Rebecca Chiu continued to display fine
form as she beat third seed Donna Urquhart for the loss of one game,
and in the final meets Delia Arnold, the home favourite who
overcame Hong Kong junior Joey Chan in three close games. |

14-Aug, Quarters:
Seeds scattered in KL
The latest NSC event has seen seeded players scattered to the wind
in Kuala Lumpur.
In the men's $10k event only one seed remains, with second seed
Nafiizwan Adnan winning through to the semis as his opponent
retired injured when leading in the third game.
His semi-final opponent is compatriot Asyraf Azan who
followed up his first-round dismissal of third seed Mike Corren with
a five-game win over the younger of the Adnan brothers, Nafzahizam,
the seventh seed.
The other semi-final will be contested by two qualifiers. Malaysia's
top junior Ivan Yuen, who ousted top seed Ryan Cuskelly in
the first round, continued his run with a straight-games win over
unseeded Choong Kam Hing.
Yuen will meet fellow qualifier Wong Wai Hang after the Hong
Kong number two came from two games down for the second day in a row
- both times against higher-seeded compatriots!
The culling of the seeds has been less dramatic in the $12k women's
draw, with top seed Rebecca Chiu and Donna Urguhart,
seeded three, set to meet for a place in the final.
The other semi-final pitches two giant-killing youngsters together -
Hong Kong's Joey Chan beat third seed Amelia Pittock while
Malaysia's own Delia Arnold went one better as she took out
second seed Sharon Wee in straight games.

Wong Wai Hang - back from two down, twice! |
