The latest international squash circuit events in Kuala Lumpur ended in successes for Nicolas Mueller and Low Wee Wern in the NSC Series No9 championships at the Bukit Jalil National Squash Centre in the Malaysian capital.
Swiss star Nicolas Mueller made his breakthrough in the semi-finals of the men's $10,000 PSA World Tour when he downed second-seeded New Zealander Campbell Grayson in an hour-long battle.
In the final, the 20-year-old No3 seed from Zurich faced local hero Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan, the fourth seed from KL who had come through the top half of the draw in which top-seeded Hungarian Mark Krajcsak was a first round casualty.
Mueller survived another four-game encounter, beating his 23-year-old opponent 11-8, 10-12, 11-7, 11-7 in 61 minutes to claim the sixth Tour title of his career - and his fifth this year!
Low Wee Wern delighted the crowds with domestic success in the women's $4,000 WISPA World Tour event. The top seed from Penang triumphed in an all-Malaysian final against Siti Munirah Jusoh, beating the second seed from Kuala Terengganu 11-6, 11-4, 11-5 in 26 minutes.
It was third time lucky for the 19-year-old Asian Junior Champion who was celebrating her third Tour final appearance of the year - but her first win in 2009. The title triumph marked the third WISPA title of Low Wee Wern's career to date - all of which have been in her country's capital.
