Kemp
Stuns Selby For Winnipeg Win
England's Jonathan Kemp recorded his best victory of the year when he
upset top-seeded compatriot Daryl Selby in the final of the Winnipeg
Building & Decorating Ltd Manitoba Open to become the first English winner
of the $15,000 PSA Tour squash event at Winnipeg Squash Racquet Club
in Winnipeg, Canada.
The
27-year-old world number 38 from Halifax in Yorkshire fought back from 2/1 down
to beat Selby, ranked 13 places higher, 11-9, 9-11, 5-11, 16-14, 12-10 in an
108-minute marathon.
The
victory gives left-hander Kemp his sixth career PSA Tour title - but his first
since August 2006.
Selby
& Kemp In All-English Manitoba Final
Top
seeds Daryl Selby and Jonathan Kemp will meet in an all-English
final of the Winnipeg Building & Decorating Ltd Manitoba Open after
celebrating straight games' wins in the semi-finals of the $15,000 PSA Tour
squash event at Winnipeg Squash Racquet Club in Winnipeg,
Canada.
Selby, the world No25 from Essex, despatched New Zealand's No7 seed Martin
Knight 11-6, 11-7, 11-7 to reach the eighth PSA Tour final of his career -
and the second in Canada this year.
Second seed Kemp, currently ranked 13 places lower in the world than his
national rival, also faced a surprise last four opponent when he defeated local
hope David Phillips, the eighth seed from Montreal, 11-9, 11-7, 12-10.
Kemp
is celebrating his seventh appearance in a Tour final - and, like Selby, has
previously only finished as runner-up once before in his career!
Canadians Advance In Manitoba
Shawn Delierre
and David Phillips carried home interest through to the last eight of the
Winnipeg Building & Decorating Ltd Manitoba Open after surviving the
first round of the $15,000 PSA Tour squash event at Winnipeg Squash
Racquet Club in Winnipeg, Canada.
Delierre, the third seed
who is ranked 63 in the world, defeated compatriot Tyler Hamilton, a
qualifier from Dundas, Ontario, 11-6, 8-11, 12-10, 11-5. The match was a little
too close for comfort for the 26-year-old from Montreal.
"Tyler was coming off two
tough matches in the qualifying round so I have to admit I may have been a bit
too confident," said Delierre. "But he made some nice shots and got me a little
bit worried. I’m certainly going to approach my next match with a different
mindset. I really want to do well here."
Delierre will face
Martin Knight of New Zealand. The seventh seed eliminated Robin Clarke
of Kanata, Ontario, 11-6, 11-2, 13-11.
Phillips, seeded eighth,
beat qualifier Cesar Salazar of Mexico in the maximum five games 11-4,
7-11, 11-8, 7-11, 11-3. Phillips faces fourth seed Campbell Grayson of
New Zealand in his quarterfinal. Grayson bounced Dave Glass of Winnipeg
11-9, 12-10, 11-6.
