Delierre Back On Top In
Rhode Island
Canadian Shawn Delierre made it onto the winner's podium at a PSA
event for the first time in more than three years after completing a
sensational run in the Rhodysquash RI Open at St George's School in
Rhode Island, USA.
The unseeded 28-year-old from Montreal picked off some notable
scalps on the way through to his surprise appearance in the final -
including sixth-seeded Irishman John Rooney and Mexico's No4 seed
Cesar Salazar.
But it was in the tenth Tour final of his career that Delierre, a
former word No40, pulled off his most impressive victory since
undergoing leg surgery last year.
Currently ranked 74 in PSA world rankings, Delierre battled for 97
minutes to overcome top seed Julian Illingworth, the world No35 from
the USA, 11-9, 12-10, 9-11, 12-10.
The triumph not only denied Illingworth his second successive Tour
title in Rhode Island, but gave Delierre the seventh Tour trophy of
his career - and his first since winning the GoodLife Open in Ottawa
in October 2007.
