Naude & Malik Make Finnish Open Final

The final of the Savcor Women's Finnish Open Squash Championship will feature top seed Annelize Naude, but the Netherlands player's opponent will be third seed Tegwen Malik after the Welsh champion upset England's No2 seed Dominique Lloyd-Walter in the semi-finals in Mikkeli.

Malik, a beaten semi-finalist twelve months ago, reached the final after a 9-3 3-9 9-3 9-4 victory over Lloyd-Walter in 46 minutes.  By contrast, Naude brushed aside her semi-final opponent in just six minutes, beating fifth-seeded Amnah El Trabolsy - the 18-year-old Egyptian who upset England's fourth seed Vicky Lankester in the previous round - for the loss of just a single point.
