Mustonen
Rallies To Racquet Club Success
Facing his
first seed in the event, Finland's Henrik Mustonen pulled off a notable
upset when he beat Frenchman Mathieu Castagnet in the final of the
Racquet Club Invitational to win the PSA World Tour Challenger 10
squash title at The Racquet Club in St Louis, USA.
But the
20-year-old from Hollola had to save two match-balls before overcoming third
seed Castagnet, ranked 63 in the world, to win the title 9-11, 11-8, 13-11,
8-11, 12-10 in a marathon one hour and 55 minutes!
Fourth seed
Mustonen, ranked almost 20 places below the Frenchman, had reached the final
without dropping a game.
The triumph
marks the Finnish number two's third career PSA Tour title.
Castagnet
Casts Out Waller In St Louis Semis
Frenchman
Mathieu Castagnet captured an unexpected place in the final of the
Racquet Club Invitational when he despatched England's top seed Adrian
Waller in the semi-finals of the PSA World Tour Challenger 10 squash
event at The Racquet Club in St Louis, USA.
After
surviving a challenging tie-break second game, the third seed from Le Mans went
on to beat Waller 11-5, 16-14, 11-5 to earn his fifth PSA Tour final
appearance.
Castagnet, 24,
will now face Henrik Mustonen for the title after the fourth-seeded Finn
beat England's Lewis Walters 11-6, 11-4, 11-8.
The unseeded
Walters, a 22-year-old from Nottingham, made his breakthrough in the event in
the first round where he ousted Australia's second seed Scott Arnold in
four games.
