New York Tournament of Champions

January 28, 2010 5 comments

Well that was a bit of a turn up for the books!

James Willstrop is The New York Tournament of Champions Champion.

James beat the PSA World No.1 Ramy Ashor 3-1 (12-10  11-5  9-11 11-3) to secure his first ever New York win.

And that’s not the only World No.1 he had to beat. On his journey to the final he had to overcome Amr Shabana and Karim Dawwish, both of who have been at the top of the Sport last year and in Amr’s case for some considerable time before that. Which is why James ranks winning the 2010 Tournament of Champions as the best win of his career.
