Kempsell Lifts His Second PSA World Tour Title
World No.122 Douglas Kempsell lifted his second PSA World Tour title
with an emphatic 3-0 victory over unseeded Englishman Joshua Masters in
the final of the Greater Shepparton City Council International, PSA M5
tournament.
The number five seed participated in the fifth longest professional
squash match ever recorded when he defeated Joshua Larkin in a gruelling
149 minute semi-final while Masters’ surprise victory over top seed
Jaymie Haycocks was more straightforward.
Kempsell displayed no ill effects from his mammoth tie and started well
with Masters struggling to keep up with the Scot’s speed around court as
Kempsell stormed into a 2-0 lead.
The pair went toe-to-toe in the opening stages of the third game with
both players delighting the gathered spectators with some sublime
squash.
Kempsell pulled away though after a tight opening to steer to an 11-7,
11-8, 11-5 victory, doubling his PSA World Tour title tally in the
process.
Result – Final:
[5] Douglas Kempsell (SCO) bt Joshua Masters (ENG) 3-0: 11-7, 11-8, 11-5
