Le Roux wins al-English final in Wisconsin
Fantastic match today to wrap up the 2010 Madison Open.
Our two top seeds put on an incredible show of movement and ball
control. Shaun Le Roux had previously lost only one set during the
tournament and was obviously going in feeling pretty confident.
Eddie Charlton had lost two sets to Jaymie Haycocks in a tight
semi-final, but was also going in with some confidence.
The first game started with Shaun building up a 7-3 lead before
Eddie won 11-7 in one hand. Not only had he come back to win the
game, he successfully exposed Shaun's movement more than anyone else
had previously. Shaun picked it up the next two games and was
looking like he was going to run the table in four games, but Eddie
came back in the fourth (with the magic knee-socks) and rolled to an
easy 11-4 win.
The last game was all Shaun. Even for the first few points, but at
4-3, Shaun's confidence went up and was able to get to roll to an
11-3 victory.
Best squash of the week.
