Dougie Kempsell wins the Shepparton International PSA $5K Tournament in Melbourne
Dougie Kempsell wins the P.S.A. $5K Shepparton International Tournament in Melbourne this weekend with a stunning run of form and determination to clinch the top prize.
He was seeded No.5 and so had to beat the No.4 and No.2 seeds on the way to the final. The first of these matches was an hour and a half marathon against Tayyab Aslam the No.2 seed from Pakistan (and World No.84) which Dougie won 11-5 in the 5th.
And if that was a marathon then the very next day was a triathlon as Dougie beat the home player and No.4 seed Josua Larkin in a match lasting 2 and a half hours! And it went all the way to 13-11 in the last game – what an effort!
So to The Final and it’s amazing that Dougie had anything left after those last two matches, but he did and won the final 3-0 against Josh Masters from England in just 34 minutes.
Fantastic win Doug and many congratulations.
