Van Lawn Open: Brownell Downs Top Seed To Claim Victory

American Timothy Brownell claimed the victory at the Richardson Wealth Van Lawn Open in Vancouver this weekend, his second title of the season so far.

The World No.62 came into the competition as the No.2 seed, but as the highest ranked player in the tournament. He started his week’s campaign with a solid straight games victory over Mexico’s Miled Zarazua, before then overcoming Alejandro Reyes in the quarter finals.

The American, who had already claimed the Sam Aguiar Louisville Open crown earlier in the campaign, then came up against Argentina’s Jeremias Azana in the last four. Once again, Brownell was able to get the job done in straight games, this time to move through to the final.

In the final, Brownell came up against former World No.36 Arturo Salazar, the tournament’s top seed. A tight first game went to a tie-break, and it was the American that took it, and with it, claiming the momentum in the contest. From there he dropped just ten more points, as he went on to secure the victory without dropping a game throughout the entire event.
