Alex Wan reports from KL...
The
setting in the Berjaya Times Square was great. It has been many years
since a tournament was held in such a public arena. However, having
only one court means a very log day for us, with eight matches to run.
For the publicity of the sport, this is something well worth the time
and effort.
It is also the first time since the Commonwealth Games in 1998 that
the audience had to pay for a seat in the arena. Sadly, many still
preferred to hang around the balconies for a free viewing that fork
out a meagre sum of RM20 (equivalent to GBP3) for 8 hours of world
level squash.
