I've been busy the last 2 days to update the post. The semifinals and finals were played in the Bailian New Era Mall and the set up a glass court. The court is actually the very old perspex (plexi-glass is another name. It is like plastic) court that was used in the '80's. It was given to China Squash by Hong Kong Squash as part of their commitment in developing the game. It is at the moment not in the best of conditions but at least playable.
Stephane Galifi (Fra) upset Max Lee (HK) 3-1 to win the Men's title while Heba El Torky (Egy) beat her younger sister Nouran El Torky in a tough 5 games match.
Part of the entertainment was provided by a group of rope jumping guys and gals. It was something that I have yet to see in Malaysia at a squash event. Good idea on behalf of the organizers.
The Finals was packed with people and I bare managed to get a seat. Overall, it was a success in the eyes of the organizers and China Squash. Cheers and till next time.
