In the women’s semifinals held at the National Squash Centre, Bukit Jalil, Wee Wern easily whipped the current national number two, Sivasangari 11-6, 11-8, 11-9 in 33 minutes to be back in the final of Professional Squash Association (PSA) tournament after 20 months due to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.

Waiting for her in the final match tomorrow would be the Japanese player, Satomi Watanabe who edged first seeded Egyptian Omneya Abdel Kawy 11-4 11-5, 11-6 in just 15 minutes.
