KL Open 2010

Yesterday 10 Malaysians, 6 men and 4 women took part in the qualifying and only 2 men came through. They are Mohd. Nafiizwan and Ivan Yuen but in contrasting styles. Nafiizwan had an easy 21 minute match winning 3-0 while Ivan squandered a 2-0 lead to eventually win 3-2 in 70 minutes. Kamran Khan and Low Wee Wern came close losing in 5 games with Kamran having 2 matchballs in the 5th and Wee Wern having to lead 7-6 in the 5th. Both could not close out their matches.

Todays 2nd round qualifying line-up will be:

Women:
Sarah Kippax beat Annie Au 11/9, 11/9, 12/10 40 min

great update but if you can do an online livescore, that will be the greatest for the sake of squash fans. Coppinger vs Ivan Yuen would be the match of the day.

Ivan Yuen , Nasifwan, Beng hee and Azlan are 4 malaysians in the first round then.

Not too free to do live scores but I will update matches as soon as they finish.

Ivan, Nafiizwan, Azlan, Beng Hee and Asyraf are in the main draw.. 5 Guys!! Nicol & Delia are in the 1st round for the women.

Thanks. Ivan Yuen will have a real chance of revenging El Shobagy. Go for it Ivan!!!

Yes it will be a good match. Bear in mind Shorbagy will be fresh while Ivan has been on court for almost 2 hours already.
