01-Jun, Final:
Haycocks' seven year wait over in Paraguay
Almost seven years after
first joining the PSA, England's Jaymie Haycocks secured his
first title after beating Argentina's Robertino Pezzota in the final
of the Tour de las Americas Paraguay Open at Club Internacional de
Tenis in the Paraguay capital Asuncion.
Second seed Haycocks reached the final without dropping a game.
Awaiting the 29-year-old from Birmingham was giant-killer Pezzota, a
30-year-old qualifier ranked outside the world top 200 who had had
upset both top seed Jan Koukal and third-seeded compatriot Gonzalo
Miranda to reach the final - his third on the PSA Tour.
Both finalists were after a winner's podium finish for the first
time in their careers - and the clash duly went the full distance,
with underdog Pezzota recovering from a game down to take a 2/1
lead.
But a determined Haycocks, now boasting a career-high world No71
ranking, reclaimed the momentum to close out the match 11-9, 10-12,
12-14, 11-5, 11-6 after 101 minutes to get his hands on the trophy.
"I'm delighted to win my first Tour title," said the Shrewsbury-born
champion. "It's been a great week here in Asuncion.
"I'd like to say a few thanks, firstly to Esteban (Casarino) for
putting on a great event; 'the uncle' for his hospitality; and the
Paraguayan national coach Luke Butterworth for his tournament
advice. I'd also like to thank my coach Robert Owen (a finalist in
the 1988 championship) who is well remembered here in Paraguay; and
finally my sponsors, Aston & Fincher, Sutton Squash Club, Harrow &
Ashaway."31-May, Semis:

Argentinian domination ...
