Lee Motors Into Hong Kong Final by Nathan Clarke May 30, 2015
- Defending champion and local favourite Max Lee stormed past Egyptian
Omar Abdel Meguid 3-0 in just 30 minutes to book his place in the final
of the 2015 PSA HKFC International 25 tournament.
The World No.17 put on a superb display as he outclassed the powerful
Egyptian from the opening exchanges, dominating in all areas of the
court, to ensure that his hopes of winning back-to-back titles in his
home city of Hong Kong remain intact.
Lee will now take on India's top ranked player Saurav Ghosal in the
title-decider after the World No.21 saw off Dutchman Laurens Jan Anjema
courtesy of a comfortable 3-0 win.
"I tried to surprise him from the start and he made quite a few errors so I tried to keep it simple," said Lee after his win.
"I'm happy to get the win and as for the final, I have played against
Suarav quite a few times before and have always enjoyed playing him.
"The last time we played I lost 3-2 to him so I hope to beat him this time."
