Both players played a good range of shots to move each other around the court but it was too many unforced errors that were the downfall of Adnan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It took just 37 minute for Anjema to secure his 11-5, 11-8, 11-3 victory and a place in his first Tour final for more than a year &#8211; but his 30th since making his final debut in the 2002 Swiss Open in Geneva.<\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old world No17 acknowledged that he is playing well and he has tried to make himself a much more three-dimensional player than he used to be, and has worked hard at that.<\/p>\n<p>Anjema now faces top seed Alister Walker, the world No14 from Botswana. In a match which also took 37 minutes to resolve, Walker ended qualifier Mohamed Abouelghar&#8217;s run, beating the Egyptian teenager 11-9, 12-10, 11-6.<\/p>\n<p>Abouelghar, the lowest-ranked player in the draw, made his breakthrough in the previous round where he beat fourth-seeded compatriot Karim Abdel Gawad.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes it was tough,&#8221; conceded 30-year-old Walker after the semi. &#8220;The kid is very talented and has got a lot of shots and there is no rhythm, so you are always on your toes. I just managed trying to keep it tight and close the court down. Every game was tight but fortunately it worked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The final will mark Walker and Anjema&#8217;s eighth Tour meeting since 2004. Although Walker prevailed in their most recent clash, in the North American Open in February last year, it is eight-time Dutch champion Anjema who leads the pair&#8217;s head-to-head tally 5\/2.<\/p>\n<p>RESULTS: Hong Kong Football Club PSA International 25, Happy Valley, Hong Kong<\/p>\n<p>Semi-finals:<\/p>\n<p>[1] Alister Walker (BOT) bt [Q] Mohamed Abouelghar (EGY) 11-9, 12-10, 11-6 (37m)<\/p>\n<p>[2] Laurens Jan Anjema (NED) bt Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan (MAS) 11-5, 11-8, 11-3 (37m)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top-ranked Dutchman Laurens Jan Anjema reached the 30th PSA World Tour final of his career when he beat Malaysia&#8217;s Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan in the semi-finals of the Hong Kong Football Club PSA International 25, the PSA International 25 squash event in its second year at the Hong Kong Football Club in Hong Kong. &#8220;It was [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4091,9108,9107,9106,6293,9104,9105],"class_list":["post-15101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-others","tag-alister-walker","tag-champion-jan-anjema","tag-hong-kong","tag-hong-kong-football-club","tag-indian-sports-news-network","tag-mohd-nafiizwan-adnan","tag-psa-international-25-squash-event"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Anjema Makes 30th Final In Hong Kong - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
