CIMB MALAYSIAN OPEN SQUASH CHAMPIONSHIPS 2009 - I am very very impressed that the Curve's Shopping Mall Management has the courage & creativity to bring in the tournament into the shopping mall concourse area! Wow! It's a very good exposure for the sport. When it comes to racquet sports in Malaysia, Badminton is the Number 1 all time favorite. Squash & Tennis have yet to reach such high status. But with such bold steps of having the tournament in a pedestrianized lifestyle shopping centre such as The Curve, it definitely will build the awareness and draws the crowd curiousity in getting to know the sport better.
The event was well organized...I love the glass court and the informative media kit.
I watched the Men Finals for a full 20 minutes between top seed Amr Shabana from Egypt playing against second seed Nick Matthew from England. It was a pity that I have to rush back home for dinner, thus I didn't manage to catch the Women Finals between our very own Nicol David who have created history when she bagged her fifth consecutive title by beating England's Alison Waters 11-6, 11-8, 9-11, 11-7 in the final.
I feel like a lazy blob right now :)
