Unseeded Douglas Shocks Field To Win
Unseeded American Andrew Douglas has claimed the Life Time Dallas Open,
his second title of the season, after coming through the field and
beating four of the event’s seeded players, including the top two seeds,
to take the victory.
The Challenger 10 level tournament, which took place at Life Time Plano
in Texas, USA, saw Douglas come in unseeded, and he started the event
strongly with a. Five-game victory over the No.2 seed, fellow American
Spencer Lovejoy. The pair traded games during the contest, with Douglas
eventually winning out after 68 minutes of acton, 11-9 in the fifth.
He then beat a pair of Canadians to make it into the final of the
competition. In the last eight, the American downed No.7 seed Michael
McCue in just half an hour, before going on to beat No.6 seed Nick
Sachvie in a tough four-game battle, one that lasted over an hour.
The final saw the unseeded American take on top seed Nick Wall for the
title, and it was an epic battle, going all the way to a last game
tie-break. Douglas won the first game, before the Englishman then won
the next two games to hold the lead. The American then won the fourth
comfortably to set up a deciding game shootout for the title. Both men
had match balls, but in the end it was Douglas that took the title,
winning the fifth game 16-14, to take victory on home soil. |
Douglas
Downs No.2 Seed Lovejoy
The opening day of the Life Time Dallas Open saw a big upset, as USA’s
Andrew Douglas took down compatriot, and the tournament’s No.2 seed,
Spencer Lovejoy, in a lengthy five-game battle to advance to the quarter
finals.
The Challenger 10 level competition got underway at Life Time Plano in
Texas on Thursday evening, and Douglas and Lovejoy went head-to-head for
the second time on the Tour, following a meeting in the final of the
BTMI Barbados Open back in 2018.
In this contest, it was the World No.129 who took the lead on two
occasions, before seeing Lovejoy, who is ranked 57 places above his
fellow American, fight to level the match twice. However, Douglas was
able to regroup once again, claiming the deciding game 11-9 to secure a
3-2 victory, setting up a meeting with Canada’s Michael McCue, the No.7
seed, in the next round.
Elsewhere, top seed Nick Wall had to fight his way past Canadian Cameron
Seth, losing the second game of his 3-1 victory, while another American,
in Timothy Brownell, continued his great form to move through to the
last eight. |
