Wee Celebrates Malaysian Double In Mikkeli

Sharon Wee became the second Malaysian winner of a WISPA World Tour title in 48 hours when she beat England's Suzie Pierrepont in the final of the Women's Savcor Finnish Open at the Sport Forum in Mikkeli.

Belgium-based Wee, the Malacca-born top seed, had survived a tough five-game semi-final battle against Belgium's 17-year-old European Junior Champion Charlie de Rycke before taking on Pierrepont, the fifth seed from Sussex who was making her debut in a WISPA final.

Wee was fully stretched by Pierrepont, but the 27-year-old Malaysian ultimately prevailed 9-5 9-4 8-10 9-3 to claim the fourth WISPA title of her career.

It was two days earlier that Wee's Malaysian team-mate and regular training partner Nicol David snatched the biggest title of her career when she won the Kuwait Open crown in Kuwait City.

Final:
[1] Sharon Wee (MAS) bt [5] Suzie Pierrepont (ENG) 9-5, 9-4, 8-10, 9-3
