Williams
Wins Devoy Squash Open
New Zealand’s Evan Williams, the World No.99, collected the third
title of his PSA World Tour career and the second on home soil as he
triumphed dover England’s Adam Murrills in the final of the 2016
Devoy Squash Open.
After coming through a bruising five-game battle with number two
seed Lance Beddoes when he upset the odds with an 11-9 triumph in
the fifth, Murrills was showing the effects as he got off to a slow
start and slumped to an 11-2 defeat in the first game as Williams
attacked at will.
Williams gained good momentum again in the second, keeping the ball
deep and tight to close it out 11-5 and he continued to dominate in
the third but Murrills wasn’t ready to relinquish his chance at the
title. The Englishman lengthened the rallies and slowed the pace to
take the third game in a thrilling 11-8.
Game four began with Williams taking a slight lead putting pressure
on Murrills and the local man remained cool under the pressure,
shutting down the fighting Murrills and limiting opportunities to
take the crown 11-7 in the fourth.
“This is the best event I’ve played on the tour,” said Williams.
“I’ve played all around the world and this was a really great
tournament. It’s a dream for us players to be able to play on a
glasscourt, particularly in front of family, friends and
knowledgeable crowd.
“The court suited my style of play and I’m really proud to have
played good squash all week”.
