Reda
Defeats Lee In Oslo
Egyptian World No.58 Mohamed Reda produced a scintillating display
to defeat Joe Lee in the final of the Grays Norwegian Open, PSA M15
event with a stunning 3-0 victory.
Reda had already stunned second seed Eddie Charlton in the quarter-final
before seeing off Kristian Frost Olesen in the next round. Lee meanwhile
saw off Jonas Daehler, Steven Finitsis and compatriot Charles Sharpes
without dropping a game en-route to the final.
It was Reda though who started the stronger of the two with a punishing
barrage of attacking squash laying the foundations for his 11-6 victory
in the first game.
He kept up the onslaught in the second game as Lee, appearing in his
first PSA World Tour final of the year, struggled to gain a foothold in
the match.
Game three was the closest of the lot as Lee pushed Reda to the limit in
a tightly-contested affair. The Egyptian just managed to edge it and
completed an 11-6, 11-4, 16-14 victory to lift his 13th PSA World Tour
title.
Seeds
through to Quarter Finals
The top eight seeds of the Grays Norwegian Open, PSA M15 tournament
eased through to the quarter-final stage.
Number one seed Joe Lee sealed his last-eight berth with a straight
games victory over lucky loser Jonas Daehler. The 25-year-old Englishman
dominated proceedings at the Myrens Sportssenter to complete an 11-2,
11-6, 11-6 triumph.
Lee will go up against Steven Finitsis in the next round after the South
African blitzed Geoffrey Demont in three.
Lee’s compatriot Eddie Charlton has also advanced to the quarter-final
thanks to a 3-1 victory against Joel Makin. Welshman Makin pressed hard
throughout the four games but Charlton proved to be too strong as he
claimed an 11-9, 11-3, 2-11, 11-4 triumph. Mohamed Reda lies in wait for
Charlton in the next round after the World No.58 dispatched Mark Fuller.
Elsewhere, Charles Sharpes has progressed to the next stage courtesy of
a 3-0 win over fellow Englishman Angus Gillams. Jens Schoor will be his
opponent there after securing a positive result against Adam Murrills
despite flirting with elimination as he snuck the victory in five games.
Piedro Schweertman and Kristian Frost Olesen will contest the other
quarter-final fixture after respective wins against wildcard Adrian
Ostbye and Joe Green.
