Addeen may not be able to defend national title
KUALA LUMPUR: Addeen Idrakie will only know next week whether he will be able to defend his title at the National Squash Championships in Penang from Aug 13-17. The 31-year-old from Kuala Lumpur said he feels pain in his right shoulder if he exerts himself. He aggravated an old injury after knocking into a player during a tournament in New Zealand last month. "I went for an MRI scan (Tuesday) and it showed a muscle tear in my shoulder. The doctor advised me to have one week of rest. "I will have another scan next week to determine whether I have fully recovered. If I don't recover by next week, I will skip the National Championships," said Addeen, who turned professional 13 years ago. Addeen was out of action for five months after suffering a shoulder injury while training in February. After recovering from the injury, he won two back-to-back titles last month — the Harcourts KDRE Morrinsville Open in New Zealand and Victorian Open in Australia.

Wrong strategy caused Aaron-Wooi Yik's China Open final loss
NATIONAL men's doubles coach Herry Iman Pierngadi attributed Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik's loss in the 2025 China Open final to a flawed game plan. The Malaysian pair fell 15-21, 14-21 to Indonesia's Fajar Alfian-Muhammad Shohibul Fikri at the Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium in Changzhou. Herry acknowledged that Fajar-Muhammad Shohibul executed a superior strategy, particularly their aggressive 'no-lift' play, which pressured Aaron-Wooi Yik from the start. 'We used the wrong strategy in the first game and struggled to recover. Their attacking precision was outstanding, with minimal errors,' he told Bernama. The coach also noted that strong air currents in the venue may have disrupted the Malaysians' rhythm. This defeat extends Aaron-Wooi Yik's streak of six consecutive Super 1000 final losses, including the All England (2019, 2024), Thailand Open (2020), China Open (2023), and Indonesia Open (2023). Fajar-Muhammad Shohibul claimed the USD 148,000 (RM 625,000) prize, while Aaron-Wooi Yik earned USD 70,000 (RM 296,000) as runners-up. - Bernama
