Dussourd Wins In Hawally
Auguste Dussourd collects the trophy
Frenchman Auguste Dussourd continued his fine form in September to take
the 1st Kuwait International Squash Championship title, his 12th win on
Tour.
Prior to travelling to Hawally, the Frenchman had impressed on home soil
at the Open de France de Squash, making it to the semi-finals of the PSA
World Tour Bronze level tournament. He then came into the 1st Kuwait
International Squash Championship as the top seed, receiving a bye
through the opening day’s action in Hawally.
He started off his campaign in the second round, and began with a
straight games victory over Hong Kong’s Tang Ming Hong. Dussourd then
overcame the challenge of the unseeded Abdallah Elmasry, also in three,
to make it through to the semi-finals of the Challenger 10 level
tournament.
The Frenchman, who is currently at his highest position in the rankings
at World No.38, dropped just nine point in his last four clash. He then
defeated Egypt’s No.7 seed Khaled Labib 11-5, 11-1, 11-3 in half an hour
to make it through to a 22nd final on Tour.
In the final, he came up against the competition’s surprise package, in
wildcard Abdullah Almezayen. The Kuwaiti had already taken out the No.2
and No.3 seeds to make it through to the final, and he won the first
game against Dussourd as well. However, the Frenchman was able to fight
back to win the next three games, taking the title in four. In doing so,
Dussourd claimed his 12th Tour title, and his fourth in the last twelve
months.

Farkas and
Almezayen Through In Five
Hungary’s Balazs Farkas and Kuwaiti wildcard Abdullah Almezayen both
came through five-game battles to set up a semi-final clash at the 1st
Kuwait International Squash Championship.
Farkas, the tournament’s No.3 seed, came up against England’s Tom Walsh
in the quarter finals in Hawally on Monday evening, and found himself
two games behind to the Englishman. However, he was able to fight back,
and after winning a tight third game 11-9, the momentum was on his side
for the rest of the contest, going on to win the next two games as well
to take victory in five, and book his place in the last four.
The Hungarian will now take on Kuwaiti wildcard Abdullah Almezayen on
Tuesday after he continued his incredible run on home soil. Almezayen
made it into the quarter finals in Hawally thanks to victories over two
higher-ranked players, in Abdulrahman Al-Malki and Chi Him Wong, before
taking on the tournament’s No.2 seed, Mazen Gamal in the last eight.
He never fell behind in the contest, winning both the first and third
games of their quarter final clash to hold an advantage, but Gamal
showed his qualities to level on both occasions. The fifth game was a
procession, though, with Almezayen taking it 11-2 to continue his
knockout run, to move through to the semi-finals on home soil.
The other semi-final will see top seed Auguste Dussourd and Egypt’s No.7
seed Khaled Labib go head-to-head after the pair won their respective
quarter final contests in straight games. The Frenchman got the better
of Egypt’s Abdallah Elmasry, while Labib downed Kuwaiti Ammar Altamimi
to advance.
The semi-finals of the 1st Kuwait International Squash Championship will
take place on Tuesday, September 27, with the last four doing battle for
places in the finals on Wednesday. After winning in five, Farkas and
Almezayen will meet on Tuesday evening in Hawally, while top seed
Dussourd will take on Labib for a place in the final.
