Addeen's title defence on the line after shoulder injury
PETALING JAYA: National squash player Addeen Idrakie's nagging shoulder injury has resurfaced and it could derail his title defence at the National Championships from Aug 13-17. The 31-year-old, who recently notched back-to-back overseas wins, is now facing an anxious wait to see if he will be fit to compete in Penang after aggravating the injury during the tournaments.

Addeen may not be able to defend national title
KUALA LUMPUR: Addeen Idrakie will only know next week whether he will be able to defend his title at the National Squash Championships in Penang from Aug 13-17. The 31-year-old from Kuala Lumpur said he feels pain in his right shoulder if he exerts himself. He aggravated an old injury after knocking into a player during a tournament in New Zealand last month. "I went for an MRI scan (Tuesday) and it showed a muscle tear in my shoulder. The doctor advised me to have one week of rest. "I will have another scan next week to determine whether I have fully recovered. If I don't recover by next week, I will skip the National Championships," said Addeen, who turned professional 13 years ago. Addeen was out of action for five months after suffering a shoulder injury while training in February. After recovering from the injury, he won two back-to-back titles last month — the Harcourts KDRE Morrinsville Open in New Zealand and Victorian Open in Australia.

Addeen bags second straight title, Wa Sern clinches Satellite event
KUALA LUMPUR: It was a Sunday to remember for Malaysian squash as Addeen Idrakie and Low Wa Sern bagged the Victorian Open and ACE PSA WSF Satellite No. 5 titles, respectively. For 31-year-old Addeen, the win marked his second title in as many weeks after triumphing at the Morrinsville Open in New Zealand last weekend. World No. 104 Addeen proved too strong for unseeded compatriot Nathan Kueh, cruising to an 11-2, 11-4, 8-11, 11-3 victory in the final in Melbourne, Australia. "This is my best run since recovering from a shoulder injury five months ago," said Addeen. "I'm proud of winning back-to-back titles. My next event is the National Championships next month, and I'll give it my all to defend my title." Meanwhile, reigning Asian Junior Under-19 champion Wa Sern bounced back from the disappointment of missing out on his final World Junior Championships appearance by clinching the Satellite event in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia did not send a team to the championships in Cairo due to the ongoing Middle East crisis. Second seed and world No. 370 Wa Sern barely broke a sweat as he swept aside compatriot M. Nickhileswar 11-5, 11-7, 11-0 in the final at the ACE University Malaya Centre of Excellence. "Winning this tournament will help improve my world ranking," said Wa Sern. "I'm also looking forward to the National Championships in Penang next week before I head back to the United States to resume my studies at Trinity College, Connecticut."
