Top seed Alan Clyne wins Kent Open squash title at The Mote
Comments |
Top seed Alan Clyne powered to
the Kent Open squash title with a straight games victory over
surprise finalist Jonathan Harford in the climax of the $10,000 PSA
World Tour event at The Mote Squash Club.
The Scot, pictured, won 11-8,
11-3, 11-8 to win the inaugural PSA One Star tournament.
The 23-year-old world No.62 from
Edinburgh dominated the front half of the court and whenever his
26-year-old rival from Birmingham played anything loose or short,
the Scotsman pounced on the ball and won a succession of points
with his killer drop shots.
"I was pleased with the way I played
all week," said Clyne, who will soon begin training for the
Commonwealth Games in Delhi.
"The courts here at The Mote are
excellent and everyone at the club made us welcome. I’m sure all
the players will look forward to coming back next year."
Mote locals Jonny Powell and James
Evans, plus Rodmersham’s Neil Baker, gained valuable experience in
the qualifying competition while wildcard Steven London, from Park
Langley, succumbed to Irishman John Rooney in the first round of
the main draw.
