Rosner Rallies To
Black Sea Success
Germany's
second seed Simon Rosner thwarted favourite Chris Ryder's
hopes of celebrating his 29th birthday with title success in the
first PSA World Tour squash event to be held in Ukraine
when he beat the Englishman in straight games in the climax of
the $10,000 Zenit Black Sea Open at the Fitness Club Forma
in Odessa.
Rosner, the
world No45 from Paderborn, was in control throughout the 41-minute
match, upsetting the world No37 from Wolverhampton 11-6, 11-5, 11-4
to record the second PSA Tour title triumph of his career.
The
21-year-old German will now head to the English club where Ryder was
the Squash Professional to compete in the Wolverhampton Open.
Unseeded, Rosner will take on England's No6 seed Jonathan Kemp
in the opening round of the $20,000 championship which is being
staged at the Wolverhampton LT&SC from 3-6 September.
Top Seeds Ryder &
Rosner To Contest Odessa Final
Top seeds
Chris Ryder and Simon Rosner will contest the final of
the first PSA World Tour squash event to be held in
Ukraine after surviving hard-fought four-game semi-finals in the
$10,000 Zenit Black Sea Open at the Fitness Club Forma
in Odessa.
English event
favourite Ryder recovered from a game down to beat fourth-seeded
Frenchman Stephane Galifi 8-11, 11-8, 11-7, 11-4 in 55
minutes.
The world No37
from Wolverhampton will be hoping to celebrate his 29th birthday in
style in the 14th PSA Tour final of his career, but his first this
year.
But younger
Rosner, the No2 seed from Germany, took nine minutes longer to earn
his place in his third Tour final in the past five months. The
21-year-old from Paderborn battled for 64 minutes to overcome former
Egyptian Amr Swelim, the third seed now playing under the
Italian flag, 11-5, 9-11, 11-1, 11-9.
Ryder In Sight Of
Birthday Treat In Ukraine
England's
Chris Ryder is one match away from celebrating his 29th birthday
in the final of the Zenit Black Sea Open after beating
fifth-seeded German Jens Schoor in the quarter-finals of the
$10,000 PSA World Tour squash event at the Fitness Club
Forma in Odessa - the first Tour event to be held in
Ukraine.
The top seed
from Wolverhampton took 40 minutes to overcome Schoor 12-10, 11-6,
11-6 and will now face Frenchman Stephane Galifi in the
semi-finals. The fourth seed from Aix-en-Provence beat Englishman
Neil Hitchens 11-5, 11-2, 11-7.
Germany's
second seed Simon Rosner reserved his place in the other
semi-final after beating Finland's Henrik Mustonen 11-5,
11-0, 11-8. The ninth-seeded Finn had claimed his unexpected place
in the last eight after a marathon 82-minute victory over Canada's
Andrew McDougall, the No6 seed, in the previous round.
Rosner, 21,
from Paderborn, will face third seed Amr Swelim, the former
Egyptian who is competing in his first event as an Italian. The
Cairo-based 25-year-old defeated Denmark's No7 seed Rasmus
Nielsen 8-11, 11-9, 11-8, 11-9.
Seeds Survive
First Hurdles In Maiden PSA Event In Ukraine
All top 16
seeds safely came through the first round of the $10,000 Zenit
Black Sea Open at the Fitness Club Forma in Odessa,
the first PSA World Tour squash event to be held in
Ukraine.
Ukraine
qualifier Artem Shandybin put up the bravest resistance
amongst the nine local players battling to claim a place in the
second round. The 28-year-old, who has represented his country in
the last four European Team Championships, extended tenth
seed Issa Kamara to four games – but eventually went down
13-11, 11-8, 7-11, 11-9 to the 30-year-old from Sierra Leone after
50 minutes.
Unseeded
Englishman Olivier Pett took the opening game against ninth
seed Henrik Mustonen, but the Finn came flying back to win
8-11, 11-8, 11-5, 11-6.
Germany's No2
seed Simon Rosner took just 20 minutes to down Ukrainian
Kostyantyn Rybalchenko 11-9, 11-4, 11-7 and will now face
Englishman Joel Hinds for a place in the quarter-finals.
Hinds, the 14th seed, earned his place in the second round with the
minimum effort after being given a walkover by Ukraine's Dmytro
Scherbakov. The 32-year-old from Kiev injured his back in his
earlier successful qualifying bid.
