REPORTS

Courtice seals her third PSA World Tour title The Denton Associated Northern Open, top seed England’s Julianne Courtice played to her seeding to beat compatriot and number two seed Rachael Chadwick 3-1 in the final. It was a tight first game as both players took a while to find their range before Courtice clinched it by an 11-8 margin and went onto take the second game before World No.65 Chadwick came back in the third to take it 11-3. However, Courtice recovered strongly from the setback and closed out the win by an 11-8, 11-8, 3-11, 11-6 scoreline in 40 minutes to seal her third PSA World Tour title.
