Ford Takes
Turin Title
England's Ben Ford scored the second PSA
Tour title of his career when he upset fellow countryman Jonathan Harford
in the final of the Turin Open Squash Championship at the Squash
Point Fitness Club in the Italian city of
Turin.
The
32-year-old No7 seed from
Kent made
his breakthrough in the quarter-finals when he fought back from two games down
to beat second-seeded Italian Luca Mastrostefano.
After
despatching Austrian Aqeel Rehman, the fourth seed, in the semi-finals,
Ford faced favourite Harford in the final.
With more than 40 world ranking positions separating the pair, it was the
higher-ranked Harford, from Leeds in
Yorkshire,
that took the opening two games.
But
Ford fought back, winning the third for the loss of just a single point before
going on to clinch the match 8-11, 9-11, 11-1, 11-10 (2-0), 11-2 in 58 minutes.
