Top Seeds
Justify Their Billings In Perth
Top seeds Mike
Corren and Lisa Camilleri justified their top billings when they
clinched the two professional squash tournament titles in Perth,
Australia.
South Australia’s
Corren recorded his 25th title on the men’s PSA World Tour when he beat
compatriot Rex Hedrick, from Melbourne, 6-11, 11-8, 11-1, 11-7 to win the
City of Perth International at the Terrace Squash Centre.
Corren's career
Tour title tally takes him within one win of fellow Australian David Palmer
and Egypt's illustrious Amr Shabana, the former world number ones who
both boast 26 titles – more than any other current players on the Tour.
The colourful
36-year-old won his first title in Hong Kong in 1996 and has hardly stopped
winning since then, despite a career that has been marred by a number of chronic
injuries.
Corren gets a
chance for his 26th title when the Australian Squash Tour heads to Kalgoorlie
for next week’s Golden Open men’s tournament, where he is the defending
champion.
Corren went into
the tournament with a back injury but still had too much class for the rest of
the field.
"I’m still
struggling a bit, but each week I am getting better and better," he said.
Corren has been
training twice a day in Adelaide with South Australian Academy of Squash coach
Geoff Davenport and he credited Davenport with getting him to the form he
is currently in.
"I might be 36 but
I’m still working on my game all the time," he said. "I’m training twice a day
– I’m not just sitting back and resting on my laurels. You are only as fit as
the work you put in."
Lisa Camilleri,
from Tully in Far North Queensland, claimed her eighth trophy on the women’s
tour and her second in succession after beating Victoria’s Melody Francis
11-2, 9-11, 13-11, 11-5 to win the Black Knight Open, the $4,000 event on
the WISPA World Tour.
The 27-year-old
showed she is well and truly back to her best with her win over the up and
coming Francis, who is vying with the Queenslander for a Commonwealth Games
spot.
Camilleri won the
Top End Open in Darwin two weeks ago in commanding fashion but she was
made to work hard for her victory in Perth by the 21-year-old Francis
“Everything feels
right at the moment,” Camilleri said. “Training’s going well and I’m really
happy with how I’m hitting the ball.”
The Queenslander
next plays the South Australian Open in two weeks time where she is also the top
seed.
