Alexander &
Camilleri Crowned Victorian Open Champions
Queensland pair
Zac Alexander and Lisa Camilleri claimed the spoils at the
Victorian Open Squash Championships - but both were made to work hard for
their victories in the finals of the international Tour event in Melbourne.
In the men's final,
top seed Alexander came back from losing the first game to second-ranked
compatriot Matthew Karwalski, winning 6-11, 11-6, 11-9, 11-7 to claim the
$6,000 PSA World Tour title for the first time.
In the
all-Australian women's final, Camilleri won the title for the third time with an
11-8, 11-9, 12-10 triumph over Amelia Pittock – the Victorian's
second successive finish as runner-up.
It was Alexander’s
second win on the 2010 Australian Squash Tour in just his second tournament -
but he was pushed all the way by Karwalski.
The 21-year-old
from New South Wales attacked from the start and surprised a sluggish Alexander,
before the top seed recovered and slowly began to take control, taking advantage
of some Karwalski errors to get vital breaks in the each of the three remaining
games.
The win marks
Alexander's third win PSA Tour title success this year.
Earlier,
27-year-old Camilleri made it four Tour wins in a row with her victory over
Pittock, the 2005 champion, in the final of the $4,000 WISPA World Tour
event.
"We know each
other’s games really well and know each other’s strengths and weaknesses,” said
Camilleri, who is the same age as Pittock, with whom she grew up and played
juniors together.
"It was a tough
tournament for me because we had to play the semi-finals and final on the same
day, which is a bit unusual.
"And I was really
pushed in the semi-final (by Korea’s Song Sun-Mi). She was so strong and kept
fighting right until the end so I had to try and recover for the final."
Camilleri has now
won events in Darwin, Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne to make it 10 tournament
wins on the women’s professional tour.
