Samper Celebrates Maiden
Tour Success In Ontario
Colombian
Bernardo Samper celebrated his long-awaited maiden PSA World Tour
title success when he beat England's Laurence Delasaux in the final of
the Nash Cup, the Super Satellite squash event in its second year at
London Squash Racquets Club in London, in the Canadian province of
Ontario.
Samper, the
fourth seed from Bogota, made his breakthrough in the semi-finals when he beat
Englishman Eddie Charlton, the fifth seed who despatched Czech favourite
Jan Koukal in the previous round.
But Delasaux,
a 24-year-old from Hull who is making a PSA Tour comeback after an absence for
more than two years, reached the final as a qualifier – upsetting second-seeded
Canadian Robin Clarke in straight games in the semi-finals.
The Englishman
took the first game in the final – but New York-based Samper regained control of
the match to beat the outsider 7-11, 11-6, 11-7, 11-5 in 49 minutes to win his
first Tour title after first joining the PSA in 2000.
