Wong Wai Hang Stars In Hong Kong

Hong Kong's unseeded Wong Wai Hang became the star of the Buler Challenge Squash Cup in his home country by reaching his first PSA Tour final after upsetting three seeded players in successive rounds.

The recently-crowned national champion made his breakthrough in the quarters with a straight games dismissal of Pakistan's top seed Khalid Atlas Khan.  In the next round, Wong brushed aside South Africa's 7th seed John Abrahamse 15-10 15-14 15-11 in 40 minutes.

Scotland's Pamela Nimmo produced a confidence-boosting victory to reach her first WISPA World Tour final for almost a year.  Seeded three, the world No19 from Edinburgh upset England's No2 seed Jenny Tranfield 2-9 9-4 9-7 9-6 in 48 minutes.
