Top Seeds Reach Santa Barbara Final

Top seeds Paul Price, the world No20 from Australia, and Mohammad Azlan Iskandar, the world No36 from Malaysia, will meet in the final of the DARE Santa Barbara Squash Open in California, USA.

Favourite Price, a former British Open finalist from Melbourne, dropped his first game in the tournament in his 15-5 15-13 14-15 15-8 defeat of England's fifth seed Ben Garner.

Second seed Iskandar, by contrast, registered his first straight games win in the event in his 15-6 15-13 15-4 dismissal of unseeded Irishman Liam Kenny. 

While both finalists are seeking their second PSA Tour titles of the year, London-based 21-year-old Iskandar, from Kuala Lumpur, boasts the distinction of never having lost a PSA final.
