Lane Lands Hemubo Trophy In Netherlands
American Gilly Lane
showed great skill and stamina at the Hemubo Squash Trophy to win the
$3,000 PSA World Tour Satellite squash event in the Dutch city of
Almere.
The 23-year old top seed
from Philadelphia, ranked 78 in the world, first squeezed past England’s third
seed Neil Cordell in the semi finals, before securing an impressive
straight games victory over Englishman Joe Lee in the event’s climax.
After beating Cordell 11-9
in the fifth earlier in the day, Dutch-based Lane seemed likely to start slowly
against his four-year-younger opponent - who needed only three games to knock
out Germany's Andre Haschker in the other semi final.
However, Lane dominated
play from the outset against the talented second seed and never looked in danger
throughout the opening two games.
"The third was a different
story though," reported tournament organiser Tommy Berden. "Lee raced to
a 7-1 lead, only to find Lane clawing his way back into a 10-9 advantage. The
first match ball was saved, but not long after the American clinched the match
with yet another great winner."
The 11-5, 11-7, 12-10
victory gives Lane the second PSA Tour title of his career. It was at the end
of November last year that the US number two proved victorious at the KEAN
Delft Open 2008, also held in his ‘adopted’ country the Netherlands.
