2012 US Open
The World No.1 & 2 crashed out in the semi-finals of the men’s US Open to leave the door open for either Ramy or Gregory G to take the 2012 title.
Ramy Ashour beat Nick Matthew 3-1 and Gregory Gaultier beat James Willstrop 3-0 in the semi-finals. And with tough match after tough match taking its toll on the top seeds, it showed that when you’re not 100% against this quality of opposition they can take full advantage with wonderful shot play.
The final itself was dominated by Ramy, winning his 1st US Open title in three straight games, as the Frenchman had no answer to his speed and control (11-4 11-9 11-9).
In the WISPA event Nicol David took the title from the young pretender Raneem El Weleily to win the her first US Open. In-so-doing she established a new record of titles by winning her 63rd final (beating Sarah Fitz Gerald’s previous record).
Artemis BSPA & WISPA Events at Edinburgh Sports Club
Daryl Selby and Dominique Lloyd-Walter were crowned 2011 Champions at the BSPA and WISPA Artemis Squash Tournament at Edinburgh Sports Club this weekend.
Daryl beat the very exciting and attaching Andy Whipp (No.3/4 seed) in three straight games. And although the quality of the match was excellent it was always going to be physically tough for both players to raise their game’s after both had tough 3-2 victories in the semi-finals (Daryl’s lasting an hour and a half!)
Dominique also won 3-0 against No.2 seed Orla Noom (from the Netherlands) and celebrated her first victory after a 6 month injury-forced lay off.
