Lee Lands Biggest Title In Oregon
#PSAWorldTour
England's
Joe Lee
claimed the biggest
PSA World Tour
title of his career after cruising to success in the final of the
Oregon Open,
the
PSA Challenger 15
squash event at the
Multnomah Athletic Club
in
Portland
in the US state of Oregon.
Lee, the London-born No.4 seed, reached the final after surviving an 85-minute
semi-final marathon against Mexican qualifier
Alfredo Avila.
But his final opponent
Omar Abdel Meguid,
the top seed from Egypt, was stretched to 140 minutes in the other semi by
third-seeded Scot
Alan Clyne
- and this came after the World No.30 from Giza was taken again to five games in
his quarter-final against fellow countryman
Mazen Hesham Ga Sabry
before coming through in a bruising 96 minutes!
"Less than 24 hours after playing the match of the tournament, the 'Big Guy'
found himself back on court, this time against the in-form Englishman," said
event spokesman
Adam Perkiomaki,
reporting on the final.
"Lee started rock-solid, laying the foundation for what was to become an
impenetrable brick wall of pressure. Many times the masterful 'Dr.' Meguid
tried to slice his way back in, but couldn’t summon the strength needed to stop
General Lee’s mounting attack.
"Joe took the final match 3/0, and is the well-deserving 2014 Oregon Open
champion," continued Perkiomaki. "All respects to this year’s runner-up Omar
who put up a valiant effort. It was a pleasure and an honour to see this level
of squash back in Portland, Oregon. Until next year!"
World No.34 Lee was celebrating his 10th appearance in a PSA Tour final with a
third title triumph. The success also denied Meguid – who was marking his 12th
final appearance – the perfect present on the eve of his 26th birthday!
