Feast of Action on Show in Valencia

2 December 2015

The PSA Valencia, M10 tournament features an exciting lineup when the main draw gets off to a start at the Olympic Spa & Fitness Club in Spain.

World No.56 Kristian Frost Olesen is looking to lift a fifth PSA World Tour title of 2015 and is the favourite to lift silverware.

The Danish 26-year-old was in rampant form throughout the first half of the year and captured four PSA World Tour titles in his first six months of action.

Despite not claiming any titles in the past few months, Olesen has still reached the semi-final stage on two occasions and will be hoping to go even further this time around. He faces Khawaja Adil Maqbool in round one.

Dutchman Piedro Schweertman is another man who has had a successful year with three PSA World Tour crowns to his name, including the title he won last month at the Euro Styl Open.

The experienced 32-year-old, who reached the quarter-final of the London Open on his last outing, meets wildcard Aitor Zunzunegui in the opening round.

Jens Schoor made it to the final of the Qatar Circuit I at the beginning of November but was prevented from lifting his 10th PSA World Tour title by Mohamed Reda.

As such, the German is likely to be doubly determined in Valencia and will certainly be looking to get his event off to a winning start when he takes on home player Edmon Lopez Moller in the first round.

James Earles is one of two Englishmen participating in the draw and has had mixed results over the past few months with a semi-final finish at the LOC Charing Cross Classic coming in the midst of some early round exits. The World No.87, who reached the final of the Garavan’s Bar Paddy Whack Walsh West of Ireland Open in April, does battle with Iker Pajares Bernabeu to begin his tournament.
