PSA $70K San Francisco (Netsuite) Open 2012
Gregory Gaultier wins the PSA 2012 San Francisco Open
Greg Gaultier stormed home 3-0 last night in San Francisco to upset the rankings and take a stunning victory. All his opponent (Nick Matthew – PSA World No.2) could say was “That’s probably the best I’ve ever played when losing 3-0”.
It’s the first title since Greg became a father and he put’s his calmer attitude down to life with his new son, Nolan – “it’s changed my attitude. It makes me more calm on court.”
A fabulous win and if Greg is now going to be calmer on court then the rest of the squash world better watch out!

British Grand Prix Squash Final 2012 – James Wilstrop v Nick Matthew
The world ranked No.1 & No.2 met in the 2012 British Grand Prix Final.
In the top half of the draw James Wilstrop just edged Gregory Gaultier to take his final spot, after a really tough 118 minute semi-final in Manchester’s $70K Springfield Solutions Tournament.
In the other half of the draw Nick Matthew beat Peter Barker 3-0 in 48 minutes, so with the easier game Nick was favourite for the final (despite being the No.2 seed) and so it transpired as he won the title 3-1 (4-11 11-6 11-9 11-6)
