Camilleri
Captures Adelaide Crown
Australia's
Lisa Camilleri celebrated victory in the Women's South Australian
Open after overcoming New Zealander Kylie Lindsay in a five-game
thriller in the $4,000 WISPA World Tour squash event at the South
Adelaide Squash Centre in Adelaide.
The top-seeded
Queenslander twice stemmed fight-backs by Lindsay, the No2 seed, to win 11-2,
4-11, 11-6, 9-11, 14-12.
World number
39 Camilleri has now won three Women's International Squash Players' Association
tournaments in a row, bringing her total number of WISPA tournament wins to
nine.
She won
Australian Squash Tour titles in Darwin and Perth in the past month, but her
match today was by far her toughest.
"I was feeling
in my warm-up that something was wrong - my timing was out," she said.
"I just
couldn't focus and Kylie took advantage. She's a very steady player - she slowed
it down and put pressure on me and things got really hard.
"The fifth
game was really tight so I was just happy I could tough it out."
