Sachvie Wins On Home Soil

the presentation for the White Oaks Court Classic
Canada’s Nick Sachvie has claimed the White Oaks Court Classic title,
winning on home soil. He defeated compatriot George Crowne in the final
to go one better than he did at this event last season.
The inaugural White Oaks Classic took place in April, with the Canadian
losing out to the Czechia’s Daniel Mekbib in the final. Prior to the
event, we had spoken with Sachvie, where he admitted that “it would mean
a lot to win this event at home”, especially at this time of his career.
His week on home soil started with a bye through the opening round,
before he then got the better of Colombia’s Santiago Orozco in the last
16. He got the better of the first fo three compatriots, in No.6 seed
Cory McCartney, to make it through to the semi-finals.
Sachvie then took down No.3 seed Salah Eltorgman in straight games in
the semi-finals, before coming up against Crowne in the final on
Saturday evening. The pair had previously met once before, in the
quarter finals of the Oxford Properties Canadian Senior Championships
last year, with the 30-year-old winning that one 3-1.
He got the job done in a more convincing fashion in the final at the
Club at White Oaks, winning in straight games. The first two games were
tight though, with Sachvie claiming both by an 11-9 scoreline, but he
went on to win the third 11-5 to come through the tournament without
dropping a game. More importantly for Sachvie, to claim a victory on
home soil on Tour.

Damming
and Crowne Gatecrash Semis
George Crowne (fore)
The quarter finals of the White Oaks Court Classic threw up some
surprises, as Canadian George Crowne and Dutchman Rowan Damming both
took out higher-seeded players to gatecrash the last four in St
Catharines.
Both matches in the bottom half of the draw went the way of the lower
ranked player. Crowne took on No.2 seed Michael McCue in the quarter
finals, and found himself behind after the opening game. However, the
Canadian fought back to win in four games, showing his quality
throughout the rest of the contest.
He will now take on Dutchman Rowan Damming, the No.8 seed, in the last
four of the competition. The reigning World Junior Champion overcame the
tournament’s No.4 seed, Liam Marrison, in his quarter final tie. The
pair were level after two games, but Damming edged ahead with an 11-9
win in the third. The fourth then went to a tie-break, with the Dutchman
eventually taking it 15-13 to book his place in the semis.
The other semi-final in St Catharines will see the Canadian duo of Nick
Sachvie and Salah Eltorgman do battle on Friday evening. Sachvie, the
top seed, downed compatriot Cory McCartney in straight games. Meanwhile,
Eltorgman overcame Mexico’s Miled Zarazua to advance.
The White Oaks Court Classic continues on Friday, October 14 with the
semi-finals. All the action will be streamed live on the PSA Challenger
Tour YouTube channel. If you’re unable to watch, you can keep up to date

Schille and Kahnert Through On Home Soil
Tyson Schille (blue)
The opening day of the White Oaks Court Classic was a good one for the
home hopes. Canadians Tyson Schille and Mitchell Kanhart both made it
through to the second round in St Catharines.
The Challenger 5 level competition got underway on Tuesday evening at
The Club at White Oaks. Due to some late withdrawals, there were only
five matches on the opening night.
There were still victories for two Canadians on Tuesday though, with the
first seeing Tyson Schille take down compatriot Charles De La Riva. The
World No.690, whose only previous appearance on Tour came at this event
last season, took a tight first game 11-9. He then lost the second game
to the higher-ranked De La Riva, but the young Canadian fought back to
win in four.
Schille is joined in the last 16 by compatriot Mitchell Kanhart, who
took victory an all-Canadian battle. He defeated Matthew Henderson in
straight games, winning 11-8, 11-8, 11-5 in 23 minutes to advance to the
second round, where he will face No.7 seed George Crowne.
Elsewhere on the opening day, there were wins for Colombia’s Santiago
Orozco, Egyptian Mahmoud Abouelleil and Pakistan’s Rafi Khan. The
Colombian will now face the tournament’s top seed, and home favourite,
Nick Sachvie, in the second round on Wednesday evening.
The second round of the White Oaks Classic will see the seeded players
make their bows in the competition. All of the action from the White
Oaks Club in St Catharines will be streamed live on the PSA Challenger
Tour YouTube channel. You can also keep up to date with live scores from
the event here.
