Mueller Clinches St Cloud Crown
Rising Swiss star
Nicolas Mueller added the latest PSA World Tour squash title to his
growing portfolio when he beat local hero Julien Balbo in the final of
the HEC Capitol Saint-Cloud Open, the inaugural $10,000 event in
Saint-Cloud in the French capital Paris.
The 20-year-old second seed
from Hirzel, near Zurich, reached the final after ending the run of English
qualifier Olivier Pett, beating the 21-year-old ranked 298 in the world,
11-6, 11-6, 8-11, 11-7 in 52 minutes.
Balbo, the third seed from
Chambery in France, made his breakthrough in the semi-finals when he defeated
Kristian Frost Olesen, the Dane who upset top-seeded Italian Davide
Bianchetti in the previous round.
Mueller, ranked 43 in the
world, was too strong for Balbo in the final - but needed 49 minutes to overcome
the world No53 11-4, 11-5, 11-9.
The win marks Mueller's
seventh Tour title triumph in his eighth final appearance.
