Anjema Wins Manitoba Open Crown
Dutch squash star
Laurens Jan Anjema scored his second successive PSA World Tour win
over Daryl Selby in a week in Canada when he beat the Englishman in
straight games in the final of the $20,000 Winnipeg Building & Decorating
Manitoba Open title at Winnipeg Squash Racquet Club in Winnipeg.
The two top seeds, who had
earlier contested the final of the National Bank Financial Group
International in Montreal, reached the Winnipeg climax in contrasting styles
– Anjema brushing aside seventh-seeded Mexican Arturo Salazar in 55
minutes, while second seed Selby was stretched for 98 minutes before overcoming
local hero Shahier Razik, the fourth seed and a twice former champion, in
five games.
But Selby, the world No12
who was celebrating his second year in a row in the Manitoba final, was unable
to take advantage of his superior ranking over the five times Dutch champion
from The Hague, ranked 15 in the world.
Anjema, who only dropped a
single game en-route to the final, made up for the disappointment of finishing
as runner-up in 2007 by despatching Selby 11-7, 11-6, 11-5 in 55 minutes to pick
up his second Tour final of the year – but the tenth of his career.
Anjema & Selby Line Up For Second Tour
Final In Canada
Just a week after
contesting the climax of the National Bank Financial Group International
in Montreal, England's Daryl Selby and Dutchman Laurens Jan Anjema
will line-up in a second PSA World Tour squash final in Canada when they
battle it out for the $20,000 Winnipeg Building & Decorating Manitoba Open
title at Winnipeg Squash Racquet Club in Winnipeg.
Also for the second time
since Montreal, it was Canada's top-ranked player Shahier Razik that
tried to stop Selby reaching the finale – and this time the 32-year-old world
No32 from Toronto extended the Englishman to five games in his home soil Tour
bid.
But second seed Selby, aged
27 and ranked 12 in the world, dug deep to finally overcome the third-seeded
local hero 10-12, 11-3, 2-11, 13-11, 11-6 in 98 minutes.
The other semi-final saw
world No15 Anjema take on surprise opponent Arturo Salazar, the No7 seed
from Mexico who reached the last four after removing Egypt's third seed
Hisham Mohd Ashour in a dramatic five-game quarter-final encounter.
And the 22-year-old from
San Luis Potosi, ranked 54 in the world, tested the top-seeded Dutchman from The
Hague for 55 minutes before Anjema finally emerged victorious 11-3, 7-11, 11-6,
11-2 to reach the 23rd Tour final of his career.
Selby will be looking for
revenge – and hoping to prove the current world rankings correct – as he takes
on the five-time Dutch national champion in his 13th PSA final.
Selby Stretched By Salazar In Manitoba
Open
All eight seeds made it
safely through to the quarter-finals of the Winnipeg Building & Decorating
Manitoba Open in Canada, but second seed Daryl Selby had to overcome
a two-game deficit before overcoming unseeded Cesar Salazar in the first
round of the $20,000 PSA World Tour squash event at Winnipeg Squash
Racquet Club in Winnipeg.
Englishman Selby, the world
No12 who arrived in Winnipeg fresh from an appearance in last week's final of
the National Bank Financial Group International in Montreal, had to call
upon all his experience to defeat Mexican Salazar, ranked 56 places lower in the
world, 8-11, 10-12, 11-8, 11-8, 11-4.
The 27-year-old from Essex
will now face fifth seed Martin Knight after the New Zealander beat
Canadian Thomas Brinkman 11-4, 8-11, 11-7, 11-9.
Top seed Laurens Jan
Anjema, winner of the Tour title in Montreal, had a comfortable 11-8, 11-1,
11-4 win over Australian qualifier Zac Alexander - and will now take on
eighth seed Jan Koukal for a place in the last four.
Czech number one Koukal
also beat an Australian qualifier – but had to fight back from two games down
before getting the better of Wade Johnstone 6-11, 10-12, 11-7, 11-9,
11-4.
