A walk in the park for Wee Wern

- Ishak Fadhli

battling flu, a determined Low Wee Wern had no difficulty clinching her fourth PSA title this year at the Q Open in Queensland, Australia yesterday.

Wee Wern demolished Australian Jessica Turnbull 11-6, 11-5, 11-6 in 24 minutes in the final of the US$5,500 (RM22,869) tournament at the Carrara Squash Centre.

The Penang-born said she is glad everything has gone to plan since making her comeback.

She is currently ranked No 54 but should see a slight bump up when the updated rankings are released soon.

“It feels good to win my fourth title this year, hopefully with this I can qualify for the bigger tournament­s,” said Wee Wern yesterday.

“I am looking good to break into the top-50 by the end of the year which is the target.”

Wee Wern, who struggled with injuries in recent seasons, played her first tournament in almost two years at the National Championsh­ips in July, where she reached the final.

She then went on to win three PSA tournament­s in a row — the Malaysian Open, Tasmanian Open and Australian Open.

The 28-year-old will now prepare for next month’s Hong Kong Open and Singapore Open.

The Q Open was a positive outing in general for the national women’s players as three out of the four semi-finalists were Malaysians.

Ooi Kah Yan lost to Wee Wern while Aika Azman went down to Jessica.
