Schweertman Downs Downer For Maiden PSA
Tour Title
After finishing as
runner-up 12 months ago, local hero Piedro Schweertman went one better by
celebrating victory in the 2010 MeerSquashHeroes Open after
beating English teenager Robert Downer in the final of the Satellite
PSA World Tour squash event at MeerSquash in Hoofddorp in the
Netherlands.
The 26-year-old Dutchman
dominated play from the outset against the 17-year-old English qualifier who was
playing his maiden PSA tournament in the Dutch city.
Schweertman, the tournament
favourite ranked 118 in the world, kept the pace high throughout the first two
games, outplaying his young opponent on numerous occasions. Downer, the
reigning Italian Junior Open champion, fought back however to take the
third with a spell of brilliant shots, before Schweertman regained control
again, winning 11-5, 11-6, 4-11, 11-4 in 33 minutes.
The win marks Schweertman’s
maiden PSA Tour title in only his second ever final.
