Bianchetti Clinches Hometown Title

Italy's Davide Bianchetti celebrated hometown success at the Il Leone Shopping Center when he beat Germany's Simon Rosner in the final of the Il Leone Shopping Center Mega Italia Open, the 12th staging of the $10,000 PSA Tour squash event in Brescia.

The 31-year-old top-seeded Italian ended the run of English qualifier Lewis Walters in the semi-finals before facing Rosner, the second seed, in the climax.

Bianchetti reached the final without dropping a game - and maintained his 'clean sheet' in the event by beating the 20-year-old former European Junior Champion 11-5, 11-7, 11-9 in 42 minutes.

It was Bianchetti's fifth appearance in the Mega Italia Open final - and his second success since his maiden win in 2006.  The triumph also marked the Brescia boy's eighth Tour title triumph.

Walters Waltzes Into Mega Semis

English qualifier Lewis Walters burst into the semi-finals of the Il Leone Shopping Center Mega Italia Open after upsetting fifth-seeded Italian Luca Mastrostefano in the 12th staging of the $10,000 PSA Tour squash event at Il Leone Shopping Center in Brescia, Italy.

The 20-year-old from Nottingham recovered from a game down to defeat Mastrostefano 6-11, 11-1, 13-11, 11-7 in 47 minutes.

After overcoming local player Marco Vercesi in the first round, Walters will meet his third Italian in the semi-finals when he takes on favourite Davide Bianchetti, the 2006 champion.

Home hero Bianchetti, the world No31 from Brescia, despatched sixth-seeded Dane Morten W Sorensen 11-6, 11-8, 11-5.

The other semi-final will be the US/German affair predicted by the seedings. Germany's No2 seed Simon Rosner beat Denmark's Rasmus Nielsen 11-5, 11-5, 11-6 and will now face Gilly Lane, the fourth seed from the USA who knocked out Englishman Tom Pashley 11-8, 12-10, 11-8.
