It's unusual for two Malaysians to reach the last four of the same PSA World Tour event. Sivasangari, ranked world No. 5, defeated India's world junior champion Anahat Singh in just 17 minutes, winning 11-4, 11-4. She will face defending champion Amina Orfi of Egypt, who holds a slight edge with seven wins in their 10 meetings. Eain Yow, ranked world No. 18, upset world No. 12 Youssef Soliman of Egypt, winning 11-6, 5-11, 11-3. His win marks his second against Soliman in four meetings and his first semi-final appearance since October last year. Yow will face world No. 2 Paul Coll of New Zealand in the semi-finals.",
