KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s Darren Pragasam and K. Sehveetrraa won the men’s and women’s titles respectively in the PSNS President’s Trophy at Seremban Two Squash Complex today.
Darren, 24, lived up to his top billing by defeating Egypt’s second seed Ziad Ibrahim 11-6, 11-7, 11-6 in the men’s final.
Darren, who won the Lexden RFC Open in England in March, said he is now an independent player after he was dropped from the national team last year.
“It feels good to win the title today,” said Darren who has saved up money to travel to Australia for a tournament in August.
K. Sehveetrraa, 19, beat compatriot and fourth seed Wong Heng Wai 11-4, 11-13, 11-8, 10-12, 11-6 in the women’s final.
It was the Kedahan’s second PSA title in a month as she won the Hong Kong PSA Challenge Cup fourth leg on June 1.
