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.
