REPORTS

England's Willstrop And Moverley Take London Open Titles England’s former World No.1 James Willstrop and World No.27 Fiona Moverley took home the weekend’s London Open men’s and women’s titles, respectively, as a number of PSA Challenger Tour tournaments came to an end over the weekend. England’s Willstrop claimed his first title since 2016 when he won the Wimbledon Club Squash Squared Open after he defeated Egypt’s Zahed Salem in straight-games in the final. 35-year-old Willstrop was in strong form throughout the week, only dropping a single game throughout the entire tournament as he captured his 20th PSA title. Meanwhile, Moverley took home the women’s title after she defeated United States’ Sabrina Sobhy in the final to pick up her eighth PSA title. Moverley didn’t drop a game en route to the final as she overcame Sobhy by an 9-11, 19-17, 11-9, 11-3 scoreline in 49 minutes in the final.
