Weekend RoundUp: Adel Claims Salt Lake City Open Title

Egypt’s World No.42 Yathreb Adel defeated Hong Kong’s World No.19 Joey Chan to lift the Wasatch Advisors Salt Lake City Open PSA W15 title over the weekend.

21-year-old Adel – who was the number eight seed at the tournament – claimed her eighth PSA World Tour title as she dispatched top seed Chan – who had not dropped a game en route to the final – in straight-games in 35 minutes.

Elsewhere at the Malaysian Squash Tour V, Malaysia’s World No.76 Aifa Azman lifted her second successive PSA World Tour title as she defeated Hong Kong’s number two seed Vanessa Chu 3-1 in the final.

Azman picked up the Malaysian Squash Tour IV title in her previous tournament and was on form again to see off Chu to lift her third PSA World Tour title.

Meanwhile in the men’s event, 21-year-old Tayyab Aslam defeated top seed Mohd Syafig Kamal 3-1 as the World No.136 lifted his third PSA World Tour title.

At the Bermuda Open it was England’s Angus Gillams and South Africa’s Alexandra Fuller who claimed the men’s and women’s titles, respectively.

Gillams beat compatriot and number two seed Adam Murrills in the final in straight-games to lift his sixth PSA World Tour title. Meanwhile, Fuller also saw off her compatriot as she defeated Milnay Louw 11-3, 9-11, 11-2, 11-5 in 44 minutes.

At the Israel Herzliya Open it was top seed Spain’s Bernat Jaume who played to his seeding to edge number two seed France’s Victor Crouin in a gruelling 90-minute encounter.
Jaume came from 1-0 down against Crouin to complete a 10-12, 11-5, 11-3, 10-12, 11-9 victory and win his second PSA World Tour title.

Finally, at the Brisbane City Squash Sandgate Squash MS Open it was Australia’s Christine Nunn who reigned victorious.
The World No.69 beat compatriot and top seed Tamika Saxby by an 11-8, 9-11, 11-3, 11-7 scoreline to claim her fifth PSA World Tour title.
