Au & Lau Now Crocodile Challenge Champions In Hong Kong

Annie Au and Dick Lau, both second seeds, celebrated a notable domestic double in the Crocodile Challenge Cup at the Hong Kong Squash Centre in Hong Kong.

In the climax of the women's $16,000 WISPA World Tour event, 20-year-old Au upset her senior compatriot Rebecca Chiu, the top seed, 7-11, 11-4, 11-1, 11-7.

It was the second successive time that Au had beaten her higher-ranked fellow countrywoman on the Tour - in a victory which takes her WISPA title tally to five.

It was also an all-Hong Kong battle in the final of the men's $6,000 PSA World Tour Super Satellite event.

Dick Lau had reached the climax after despatching fellow countryman Max Lee, the No3 seed, in the semis - while his opponent Leo Au, a qualifier, had produced one of the performances of his life to quash Australia's top seed Bradley Hindle in straight games.

But Au was unable to extend his run in the final, where Lau celebrated a 12-10, 11-7, 11-4 victory to notch up the second PSA Tour title of his career.
