05-Aug, Final:
Hansen happy with win
ahead of Australian Open
Denmark’s Line Hansen says she is in top form heading into a
tough first round clash at next week’s Australian Open squash
tournament after a straight games win over rising English star
Emily Whitlock in the final of the Black Knight Open in
Melbourne on Sunday.
Hansen saw off the 18-year-old Whitlock 11-7, 11-4, 12-10 to claim
her second title in a row following her win at last week’s NSW Open
in Sydney.
The top seeded Dane was in control throughout as she took advantage
of some early nerves from Whitlock to stamp her authority on the
final.
Hansen, 29, now heads to the Australian Open in Canberra, where a
first round clash with former champion and world number 10 Kasey
Brown awaits.
“I’m really happy with my form,” she said. “I’ve got no pressure on
me against Kasey. I played her earlier in the year and although she
beat me three-love the match went over an hour and I think I was in
with a chance of winning it.”
Hansen gave Whitlock, who finished fourth at the recent world junior
championships, no chance of an upset on Sunday.
She won the first two games comfortably then raced to a 6-1 lead in
the third.
“I think my intensity dropped at that point and she played really
well to come back to six-all, then we went point for point until the
tiebreak,” Hansen said.
“I played well, but I don’t think she would have been that happy
with how she went.”
Whitlock is also playing in Canberra and will take on 13th seeded
New Zealand Jaclyn Hawkes in the first round.
