Schonborn & Hamza Make DragonDoc Final

South Africa's Regardt Schonborn and Egyptian Ahmed Maged Hamza - both based in the USA - will contest the final of the DragonDoc Championship after prevailing in four-game semi-finals in the inaugural PSA Tour squash event in Atlanta, USA.

Schonborn made his breakthrough in the quarter-finals after fighting back from 0/2 down to upset Mexican favourite Jose Angel Becerril. The 24-year-old fifth seed then despatched Zimbabwean qualifier Shaun Johnstone 11-7, 5-11, 11-7, 11-10 (2-0) to claim his first appearance in a PSA Tour final.

Hamza's surprise semi-final opponent was Pakistani Khayal Muhammad Khan, the No7 seed who knocked out second-seeded Zambian Patrick Chifunda in the previous round.

But, after dropping the opening game, 31-year-old Hamza romped to an 8-11, 11-6, 11-3, 11-5 victory over Khan in 39 minutes to earn the second Tour final appearance of his career.

Semi-finals:
[5] Regardt Schonborn (RSA) bt [Q] Shaun Johnstone (ZIM) 11-7, 5-11, 11-7, 11-10 (2-0) (48m)
[4] Ahmed Maged Hamza (EGY) bt [7] Khayal Muhammad Khan (PAK) 8-11, 11-6, 11-3, 11-5 (39m)
