KUALA LUMPUR – National squash player Addeen Idrakie put up a stunning performance to win the Costa North Coast Open in New South Wales, Australia yesterday.
Addeen, the tournament’s top seed, defeated Velevan Senthilkumar from India 11-8, 11-2, 11-9 in straight sets. The match lasted 35 minutes.
“It was my strategy that helped me win this tournament.
“I was very positive going into the match, and despite me winning with a 3-0 score, it was still a challenging match,” said Addeen.

He will be seeded third for the event, one place higher than national champion Ivan Yuen.
