Finals
Withington and Malik Victorious Again
England’s Finnlay Withington and Torrie Malik claimed the titles at the
Telsa Media David Lloyd Purley Open on Sunday afternoon.
The pair, who were victorious at the the British National Junior
Championships sat the end of October, both reigned supreme on home soil
once again this week in Croydon.
Withington came into the tournament as the No.6 seed, and his week in
Croydon started with a battle. He had to go the distance to overcome the
challenge of Brazil’s Vinicius Leao Rodrigues. The Englishman led twice,
but saw Rodrigues level on both occasions. In a rapid-fire encounter,
Withington took the fifth game to win in just 48 minutes.
He then followed that up with a quarter final victory over the
tournament’s No.2 seed, Kuwait’s Ammar Altamimi, winning in four. The
semi-finals saw Withington take on New Zealand’s Joel Arscott, with the
Englishman dropping just 15 points en route to a straight games victory.
The junior then took on compatriot Perry Malik in the final on Sunday,
and after two games, the pair were level. From there, Withington took
control of the contest, winning the third game 11-7, before then also
claiming the fourth game 11-5 to secure his maiden Tour title.
The women’s event was won by England’s Torrie Malik, with the
19-year-old securing her second title of the month, after she won her
maiden Tour crown in Brno last week.
She started with a win against Scotland’s Catherine Holland, before then
defeating Portugal’s Sofia Aveiro Pita in the quarter finals, taking
just 18 minutes to get the job done. Malik then overcame compatriot
Kiera Marshall in the last four, also winning in straight games.
The final saw a repeat of October’s British National Junior
Championship, with Malik taking on Asia Harris, and once again, it went
the way of the former. She took a two-game lead in the final, but saw
Harris fight back to win the third game 12-10. However, Malik fought
back to win the fourth by the same scoreline, to claim her second title
in as many weeks.

Semis
All-English Finals Day Set
It will be an all-English finals day at the Telsa Media David Lloyd
Purley Open, with Torrie and Perry Malik both making it through. They
will face Asia Harris and Finnlay Withington, respectively.
Perry Malik took on top seed Miles Jenkins on semi-finals day at the
Challenger 3 level competition, and he came through in straight games to
cause an upset. He won the first game 11-5, before a tighter second game
also went his way. Malik claimed the second 11-8, and kept the momentum
in his favour, moving through to the final thanks to an 11-6 scoreline
in the third.
He will now face Finnlay Withington, the No.6 seed, in the final. The
Englishman took on New Zealand’s Joel Arscott in the semis, and dropped
just 15 points in the contest. He won the first game 11-3, and then won
both the second and third games 11-6 to advance through to the final of
the competition.
The final in Croydon will be a repeat of the British National Junior
Championships final from two weeks ago. On that day, Torrie Malik
defeated Asia Harris to claim her fifth age-group nationals title, and
the pair will do battle in Sunday’s final at the Telsa Media David Lloyd
Purley Open as well.
Malik spent just 24 minutes on court in her semi-final with compatriot
Kiera Marshall, winning in straight games. Meanwhile, Harris had to
defeat fellow Englishwoman Isabel McCullough in four games to make her
way through.
The finals of the Telsa Media David Lloyd Purley Open will take place on
Sunday, November 13, with the Malik siblings taking on Finnlay
Withington and Asia Harris for the Challenger 3 level crowns. |
Round 1
Arscott Stops English Domination
A busy opening day at the Telsa Media David Lloyd Purley Open saw 24
matches across two rounds, with New Zealand’s Joel Arscott being the
only non-Englishman into the last four of either draw.
The No.4 seed started his day with a match against Spain’s Pablo Dolz.
He won the first game 11-8, before then dropping just four more points
across the next two games. The Kiwi then took on Englishman Hasnaat
Farooqi in the quarter finals, and produced another sublime performance,
dropping just five points in total in an 11-2, 11-1, 11-2 victory.
Arscott will now face England’s Finnlay Withington in the last four. The
young Englishman, who won the British National Junior Championship crown
last month, had to survive a five-game battle with Brazil’s Vinicius
Leao Rodrigues in the opening round, before then causing an upset to
down No.2 seed Ammar Altamimi in the last eight, beating the Kuwaiti in
four games.
The other semi-final in the men’s event will be an all-English affair,
with top seed Miles Jenkins taking on Perry Malik, the No.3 seed.
Jenkins defeated compatriot Noah Meredith in four games, while Malik
downed Will Satter in straight games in the last eight.
It will be an all-English semi-final line-up in the women’s draw at the
Telsa Media David Lloyd Purley Open, with No.8 seed Isabel McCullough
causing the major upset of the day.
After losing the first game of her opening round contest with Belgian
Marie Van Riet, McCullough fought back to win the next three games, all
by an 11-9 scoreline. She then followed that up with a straight games
win over No.4 seed Amna Fayyaz, two of those being tie-breaks, to move
through to the semi-finals.
Her opponent in the semi-finals will be No.2 seed Asia Harris. The
Englishwoman defeated compatriot Katie Cox in the last eight, dropping
just ten points. The other match in the women’s event on Sunday will see
top seed Torrie Malik and fellow Englishwoman Kiera Marshall do battle,
after the pair both won their quarter finals contest in three.
The semi-finals of the Telsa Media David Lloyd Purley Open will take
place on Saturday, November 12, with the last four in both draws aiming
to make it through to Sunday’s finals in Croydon, England.
