Illingworth Nets
Second Tour Title In Baltimore
US
squash star Julian Illingworth cruised to his second PSA
World Tour title of the year at the Merritt Properties Open
when he beat top-ranked Mexican Eric Galvez in the final of
the $10,000 event at Merritt Athletic Club in Baltimore,
USA.
The 25-year-old from New York, who won his fifth US National
Championship trophy in March, reached the final without dropping a
game – overcoming English qualifier Adrian Waller in the
semi-finals.
Galvez, the world No41 from Puebla, faced qualifiers in each round
leading to the final – and was taken to four games by Colombian
Bernardo Samper in the other semi.
Illingworth and Galvez last met exactly two years ago – when the
then higher-ranked Mexican won in four games.
But Portland-born Illingworth has grown in stature since that time –
and despatched his opponent 11-7, 11-5, 11-8 to boost his chances of
moving above his current career-high world ranking of 33.
