Bianchetti Flourishes At
Festina Open
Davide
Bianchetti, Italy's highest-ranked
squash player of all-time, added to his haul of PSA World Tour titles on
home soil when he won the PSA Festina Open at the Sporting Club Milano
in Basiglio, Milan, without dropping a single game.
After
despatching his brother Andrea Bianchetti and fellow countryman Luca
Mastrostefano in the quarters and semi-finals, respectively, the 30-year-old
top seed from Brescia faced surprise opponent Peter Creed in the final.
Welshman
Creed, the sixth seed, caused a significant upset in the semi-finals when he
subdued second-seeded Spaniard David Vidal in straight games.
But the
22-year-old world number 198 from Caerphilly was no match for the favourite -
ranked 168 places higher – in the final.
Spurred on by
the crowd, Bianchetti defeated Creed 11-6, 11-6, 11-9 to mark up the tenth PSA
Tour title of his career, and the fifth in his home country.
