Delierre Back
On Top In Rhode Island
Canadian
Shawn Delierre made it onto the winner's podium at a PSA World Tour
squash event for the first time in more than three years after completing a
sensational run in the $10,000 Rhodysquash RI Open at St
George's School in Rhode Island, USA.
The unseeded
28-year-old from Montreal picked off some notable scalps on the way through to
his surprise appearance in the final - including sixth-seeded Irishman John
Rooney and Mexico's No4 seed Cesar Salazar.
But it was in
the tenth Tour final of his career that Delierre, a former word No40, pulled off
his most impressive victory since undergoing leg surgery last year.
Currently
ranked 74 in PSA world rankings, Delierre battled for 97 minutes to overcome top
seed Julian Illingworth, the world No35 from the USA, 11-9, 12-10, 9-11,
12-10.
The triumph
not only denied Illingworth his second successive Tour title in Rhode Island,
but gave Delierre the seventh Tour trophy of his career - and his first since
winning the GoodLife Open in Ottawa in October 2007.
Delierre
Pushes Through To Rhode Island Semis
Unseeded
Canadian Shawn Delierre will contest the semi-finals of the
Rhodysquash RI Open after overcoming Australia's Wade Johnstone in
the quarter-finals of the $10,000 PSA World Tour squash event at St
George's School in Rhode Island, USA.
But the
28-year-old from Montreal made his breakthrough in the opening round where he
ousted sixth-seeded Irishman John Rooney in straight games.
Johnstone also
made it through to the last eight after the biggest first round upset - a
four-game win over local hero Gilly Lane, the No2 seed from the USA, in a
75-mnute marathon.
Delierre had
the upper hand in the quarter-finals, however, beating the US-based 29-year-old
from Perth 11-8, 11-8, 11-9 in 52 minutes.
The Canadian
will now meet fourth seed Cesar Salazar for a place in the final. The
22-year-old Mexican beat England's No7 seed Shaun le Roux 11-6, 11-9,
11-5.
Event
favourite Julian Illingworth made it through to the semis with an 11-5,
14-12, 11-3 victory over eighth seed Jaymie Haycocks.
The
26-year-old world No34 from New York will now line up against a second
Englishman Adrian Waller after the third seed beat fifth-seeded Mexican
Eric Galvez 12-10, 11-6, 11-4.
