Hindle and Kippax triumph at MeerSquashHeroes Open
Top seeded Bradley Hindle
and Sarah Kippax triumphed during the MeerSquashHeroes Open 2009 in the Dutch
city of Hoofddorp. The 28-year old Australian fought off a fantastic performance
by ‘local hero’ Piedro Schweertman to claim the second PSA title of his career.
The world number 70 dropped the first against his powerful Dutch opponent who
played his maiden PSA final, but came back strong to win the next two for the
loss of a handful of points. Schweertman however didn’t give up, won the fourth
to force the match into a decider and looked a likely winner. In the fifth it
was Hindle’s turn again as he raced away half way the game to secure a well
earned victory after 61 minutes: 9-11, 11-5, 11-4, 9-11, 11-6.
In the women’s event
Kippax fully deserved to be crowned as champion. After moving through the draw
with relative ease, disposing of Carrie Hastings, Lotte Eriksen (7) and Orla
Noom (4), the 25-year old from Halifax was in complete control of her final
match against compatriot Emma Beddoes for the first two games. Beddoes started
strong in the third game, but Kippax staged a mini comeback from 6-0 down to
register a straight games win over a very dangerous opponent: 11-5, 11-6, 14-12.
It was Kippax’s seventh WISPA title of her career. Remarkably three of them came
in the Netherlands. In 2006 and 2008 Kippax already proved the strongest during
the Pepsi Enschede Open Squash.
