Malhotra Claims Charlotte Open Crown
Indian World No.92 Vikram Malhotra came out on top of a
tightly-contested fixture with tournament top seed Lewis Walters in
the final of the Charlotte Open, PSA M5 event to capture his second
successive PSA World Tour title.
Malhotra, who was playing in his fourth final in his last five PSA
World Tour events, came through two five-game battles against
Anthony Graham and Clinton Leeuw in the quarter-final and
semi-final, respectively, to reach the final hurdle, while Walters
defeated Jon Geekie, Reuben Phillips and Jesus Camacho.
26-year-old Malhotra started well and had the better of the opening
exchanges as his intelligent shot selection and accuracy enabled him
to move Walters away from the ’T’ and he duly took a one-game lead.
Walters, the Jamaican No.2, fired back in the second game but
Malhotra was soon back in the ascendancy and won game three to
reclaim the lead.
The Mumbai-born number two seed upped his game even further in the
fourth to record an 11-8, 8-11, 11-7, 11-6 victory to follow up
March’s Malaysia Squash Tour I title in style and lift the third PSA
World Tour crown of his career.
