Top Four Seeds
Into Goiania Semis
The top four
seeds made it through to the semi-finals of the Goiania Powerade Open in
Brazil after surviving contrasting quarter-finals of the PSA World Tour
Challenger 10 squash event at the Flamboyant Shopping Centre in
Goiania.
Hopes for
local success were kept firmly alive when top seed Rafael F Alarcon
booked his place in the last four without lifting a racket. After producing a
notable upset in the previous round, English qualifier Steven London was
unable take his Goiania bid any further, and conceded the match to Alarcon due
to an injury.
Brazilian
Alarcon, the world No52 from Sao Paulo, will now face Yann Perrin for a
place in the final after the third-seeded Frenchman despatched Paraguay's
Esteban Casarino 8-11, 11-4, 11-4, 11-6.
Malaysia's
Kamran Khan took more than an hour to overcome South African Clinton
Leeuw 12-10, 11-7, 5-11, 11-6.
The fourth
seed moves forward to line up against No2 seed Campbell Grayson. The
25-year-old New Zealander brushed aside Argentina qualifier Hernan
D'Arcangelo 11-6, 11-1, 11-4.
Rafa Rallies
Into Goiania Quarters
Players from
eight different nations survived the opening round of the Goiania Powerade
Open in Brazil, leaving top seed Rafael F Alarcon to carry home hopes
exclusively into the quarter-finals of the PSA World Tour Challenger 10
squash event at the Flamboyant Shopping Centre in Goiania.
But the world
No52 from Sao Paulo was taken the full distance by unseeded Maltese opponent
Bradley Hindle before squeezing through 11-8, 6-11, 9-11, 11-5, 11-9 after
65 minutes.
Alarcon,
seeded to win his 11th PSA Tour title on home soil, will now face Englishman
Steven London, a qualifier from London who upset Mexican Fernando Lopez
12-10, 11-7, 11-6.
Argentina's
Hernan D'Arcangelo became the second qualifier to earn a place in the last
eight when he defeated Brazilian and fellow qualifier Ronivaldo Duarte
11-7, 11-3, 7-11, 11-1.
D'Arcangelo,
competing on the PSA Tour for only the second time, will now line up against
second seed Campbell Grayson after the New Zealander knocked out
Englishman Adam Murrills 11-2, 11-6, 11-9.
