Deadly
Delierre Denies Delasaux
Canadian
outsider Shawn Delierre became the first local winner of the Edmonton
Open when he beat England's Laurence Delasaux in the final of the
$10,000 PSA World Tour squash event in its third year at the Royal
Glenora Club in Edmonton in the Canadian province of Alberta.
While Delasaux,
the second seed, was expected to make the final, Delierre was seeded only to
make the quarter-finals - but the 28-year-old from Montreal made his
breakthrough by beating third-seeded Mexican Eric Galvez to reach the
semi-finals.
There the
seventh seed took out another Mexican Jorge Isaac Baltazar Ferreira to
earn his surprise place in the final, the 11th of his career.
Delasaux, the
25-year-old world No71 from Yorkshire was celebrating his second successive Tour
final in Canada after winning the Saskatoon Boast Open the previous week.
But Delierre used his amazing shot selection and incredible retrieval ability to
bring an end the Englishman's run.
The first game
was extremely close with neither player able to lengthen the lead by more than
two points until the end. Delierre was able to find a way to win it and came out
shooting in the second game. He had a commanding 5-0 lead in the second before
Delasaux was able to score his first point.
But again
Delierre prevailed and took a commanding two-game lead in the match. The
Englishman was able to mount a comeback in the third but again Delierre came out
shooting in the fourth soon closed out the match 11-9, 11-6, 6-11, 11-6 in 70
minutes.
The title
triumph marked Delierre's second PSA tournament win this year - and the eighth
of his career.
