E.M. Noll Classic: Hutton And
Todd Take Titles In Philadelphia
The English duo of Jasmine Hutton and Sam Todd were victorious on Sunday
afternoon at the Racquet Club of Philadelphia, with the pair claiming
their first titles of 2022 at the E.M. Noll Classic.
The tournament, which has been a qualifying event for the PSA World
Championships in the past, had a Challenger 5 men’s draw and a
Challenger 10 women’s draw this week, and the finals came down to four
English players.
The men’s final went all the way to five, with No.6 seed Sam Todd and
the unseeded Charlie Lee, both having already knocked out multiple
players ranked above them, doing battle on Sunday afternoon.
It was Todd, the 18-year-old Yorkshireman, that got off to a quick
start, and he was two games up in no time, but Lee fought back. The
World No.136 won the next two games, dropping just ten points across the
pair, to send the match into a deciding game.
Todd, who had already defeated the American duo of Spencer Lovejoy and
Faraz Khan, the latter being the draw’s top seed, went on to take the
victory, in a quick fire five-game final, winning the decider 11-3 to
end the contest after just 43 minutes.
Sam Todd after winning in Philadelphia
He joined Jasmine Hutton in the winner’s circle in Philadelphia, after
she won the battle of the 22-year-olds in the women’s final, beating top
seed, and compatriot, Lucy Turmel in four games.
The World No.32 won the first game on a tie-break 14-12, and after
taking the second 11-6, she was in cruise control in the match. Turmel
fought back, dropping just a couple of points to take the third game,
before the fourth went to a lengthy tie-break.
It swung both ways in the latter stages of it, with both players staying
in it but it was Hutton who was eventually the one to come out on top
19-17 to take her second victory of the 2021-2022 season, following her
win at the Capra Baerum Open in Norway.
