Addeen bags second straight title, Wa Sern clinches Satellite event
KUALA LUMPUR: It was a Sunday to remember for Malaysian squash as Addeen Idrakie and Low Wa Sern bagged the Victorian Open and ACE PSA WSF Satellite No. 5 titles, respectively. For 31-year-old Addeen, the win marked his second title in as many weeks after triumphing at the Morrinsville Open in New Zealand last weekend. World No. 104 Addeen proved too strong for unseeded compatriot Nathan Kueh, cruising to an 11-2, 11-4, 8-11, 11-3 victory in the final in Melbourne, Australia. "This is my best run since recovering from a shoulder injury five months ago," said Addeen. "I'm proud of winning back-to-back titles. My next event is the National Championships next month, and I'll give it my all to defend my title." Meanwhile, reigning Asian Junior Under-19 champion Wa Sern bounced back from the disappointment of missing out on his final World Junior Championships appearance by clinching the Satellite event in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia did not send a team to the championships in Cairo due to the ongoing Middle East crisis. Second seed and world No. 370 Wa Sern barely broke a sweat as he swept aside compatriot M. Nickhileswar 11-5, 11-7, 11-0 in the final at the ACE University Malaya Centre of Excellence. "Winning this tournament will help improve my world ranking," said Wa Sern. "I'm also looking forward to the National Championships in Penang next week before I head back to the United States to resume my studies at Trinity College, Connecticut."

Addeen Idrakie wins Morrinsville Open after injury comeback
NATIONAL squash player Addeen Idrakie's long wait for a Professional Squash Association (PSA) title ended after he clinched the Morrinsville Open in New Zealand today. The Squash Racquets Association of Malaysia (SRAM) in a statement today said the 31-year-old battled past compatriot Joachim Chuah in a five-set thriller at the Morrinsville Squash Club to win the PSA Challenger level event 7-11, 11-9, 9-11, 11-8, 11-4. However, it was a bittersweet victory for Addeen as Joachim suffered an injury in the deciding set with the score tied at 4-4, forcing him to limp through the remaining points. 'It was a hard and good match from Joachim just now. I think the last time I won a title was in 2023 in Australia. Happy to win a title again after five months out from squash,' he said in a statement by SRAM today. The win marked Addeen's seventh PSA Tour title and his first since triumphing at the North Coast Open in Australia last year. Addeen had been sidelined for six months due to a shoulder injury before making his competitive return at the President's Trophy in Seremban last month, where he finished as runner-up to Canada's Karim Aguib. - Bernama

Addeen ends long title wait with bittersweet win in NZ
Sweet 1-2 finish: Addeen Idrakie (right) and Joachim Chuah. PETALING JAYA: National squash player Addeen Idrakie's long wait for another PSA title finally came to an end after he won the Morrinsville Open in New Zealand yesterday. The 31-year-old outlasted compatriot Joachim Chuah in the PSA Challenger level event, winning the match 7-11, 11-9, 9-11, 11-8, 11-4 at the Morrinsville Squash Club. However, the final in New Zealand was a bittersweet win for Addeen as countryman Joachim suffered an injury in the final set with the score tied at 4-4, leaving him limping through the remaining points. But Addeen was relieved to get his seventh PSA Tour title after his last win at the North Coast Open in 2023, and is hoping he can carry that momentum to his next tournament. "I feel very happy to finally win a title again after two years. It was disappointing to see Joachim get a cramp in the final set," he said. Addeen's next outing will see him hop over to Australia to compete at the Victorian Open in Melbourne from July 16-20 as the top seed. He hopes the slight discomfort in his shoulder would alleviate itself before the tournament as he looks to make it a back-to-back win. "I'll be leaving for Australia to compete at the Victorian Open, and I really hope my shoulder gets better soon so I'm fully prepared and ready for the tournament," he said. Addeen's shoulder injury had forced him off the court for six months, but he made his return at the President's Trophy in Seremban last month, where he finished runners-up to Canada's Karim Aguib.
