Nielsen Wins Turnstone Trophy
Rasmus Nielsen
claimed his maiden PSA Tour title after scoring a 42-minute win over
Lewys Hurst in the final of the Turnstone Squash Trophy 2008, the
inaugural PSA Tour Satellite event in the Dutch city of Tilburg.
The Danish ace came out firing against the 22-year old Welshman and overpowered
his tired looking opponent in the opening two games.
The pattern continued in the beginning of the third, but Hurst, the world number
148 and fourth seed in the event, fought his way back into the match, taking the
third game after saving three match balls.
The 25-year old Nielsen, from Odense and seeded third, was not to be denied
though and held off stiff opposition from a spirited Hurst in the beginning of
the fourth game to clinch the new PSA title 11-6, 11-3, 11-13, 11-6 after 42
minutes.
"The valuable world ranking points that come with it will surely see him improve
on his ranking of 138 in next month’s PSA ranking to a position that he is
worthy of - based on his performance in Tilburg this week," commented tournament
organiser Tommy Berden.
