Castagnet Clinches
First Tour Title In Sannois
After finishing as runner-up in PSA World Tour squash events
each year for the past three years, Mathieu Castagnet finally
clinched his maiden Tour title - on home soil - at the $6,000 PSA
Super Satellite de Sannois at OS Sannois in Sannois,
near the French capital Paris.
The 22-year-old world No66 from Le Mans reached in the final after
beating Australia's No5 seed Steve Finitsis in straight games
in the semi-finals.
And the top seed's opponent in the final was fellow Frenchman
Gregoire Marche, the sixth seed who defeated England's unseeded
Chris Truswell in the other semi.
Castagnet opened up a two-game lead in the final, but 19-year-old
Marche - a former European Junior champion - fought back to draw
level.
However, Castagnet recovered his composure to retake the lead,
finally winning 11-3, 12-10, 5-11, 3-11, 11-6 after 77 minutes to
make his long-awaited Tour title breakthrough.
