Sandhu Scores In KL Satellite

India's Harinder Pal Sandhu caused a notable upset in today's quarter-finals of the NSC Satellite No3 when he beat second-seeded Malaysian Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan in the PSA Tour event at the National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.

The 18-year-old from Chennai defeated Adnan 11-9, 11-6, 11-9 in 49 minutes - and his reward is a semi-final clash with the Malaysian's older brother Nafzahizam Adnan, the third seed who beat England's No7 seed James Snell 11-5, 5-11, 11-2, 11-5.

Malaysian 16-year-old Wee Wern Low, who pulled off a sensational upset when she beat top seed Line Hansen in the first round, met her match in Annie Au in the quarter-finals. Au, the fifth seed from Hong Kong who reached her second successive NSC Satellite event final last week, defeated unseeded Wee Wern Low 9-5, 9-3, 9-7.
