Adnan Is Lone Seed In KL Satellite Semis

20 Jun 2007

Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan is in sight of his fourth appearance in a PSA Tour event final in Kuala Lumpur since April - but the 21-year-old Malaysian is the only top-four seed to have reached the semi-finals of the NSC Satellite No4 after a four-game victory in today's quarter-finals at the National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil, Malaysia.

Adnan needed 43 minutes to despatch fellow Malaysian Ivan Yuen 7-11, 11-7, 11-7, 11-10 (3-1). His next opponent will be Malaysian qualifier Kamran Khan, who beat Hong Kong's Max Lee 11-7, 11-7, 11-8.

The chance of an Adnan family final was thwarted when sixth seed Elvinn Keo upset second seed Nafzahizam Adnan 11-7, 7-11, 11-6, 11-9. Keo's opponent in the other semi-final will be unseeded Egyptian Wael Farag - the 11-8, 11-4, 11-7 victor over fifth-seeded Malaysian Muhd Asyraf Azan.
