Kuala Lumpur: Ivan Yuen provided a popular home win in today’s final of the NSC SRAM Series No1 in Malaysia – but for the second day in a row the top seed from Kuala Lumpur had to fight back from two games down before clinching the PSA World Tour Challenger 5 squash title at the Bukit Jalil National Squash Centre in the Malaysian capital.<\/p>\n

It was after surviving a 73-minute five-game semi-final marathon against fellow countryman Elvinn Keo that 22-year-old Yuen reached the fifth Tour final of his career.<\/p>\n

His surprise opponent was Ahmed Atef Abdel-Fattah, an unseeded Egyptian who enjoyed a sensational run of form in only his fifth appearance in a Tour event – making his debut final after overcoming India’s No3 seed Mahesh Mangaonkar in a semi-final which lasted only five minutes short of two hours!<\/p>\n

And the 19-year-old outsider from Cairo – ranked 291 in the world – took the opening two games against Yuen as a major shock looked on the cards.<\/p>\n

But Yuen, the world No73, held his nerve and rallied to a 10-12, 6-11, 11-5, 11-1, 11-8 victory after 66 minutes to claim the second Tour title of his career.<\/p>\n
