FINALS:
Nikki Todd (CAN) 3-2 Diana Garcia (MEX)
What an incredible game defined by long rallies and a great
rivalry! Garcia was a true warrior, refusing to give up even
after Nikki came out with a strong showing in games 1 and 2.
Down 2-0, Garcia dug deep and clawed back, forcing the match to
a deciding fifth game. Nikki came out strong in game 5, with her
signature front-court style pulling her ahead to a 7-2 lead.
Garcia, in true form, pushed back hard with some crafty shots,
but ultimately with some consistent length and some well-timed
boasts, Nikki was able to secure her first ever PSA title.
A special thank you to Summit Insulation for their continued
generous support of our PSA W5 draw. And, of course, a heartfelt
congratulations to the obvious crowd favourite, Canadian Nikki
Todd, on her first ever PSA title. We could not have been
happier to celebrate this with you, Nikki.
Ashley Davies (ENG) 3-1 Chris Hanson (USA)
Wow! An incredible showing of fitness and craft as both players
fought tooth-and-nail to the finish. The match was defined by
some long rallies, with both players attacking and defending
well. Davies, coming in as the underdog, came out strong in the
beginning of the match, patiently waiting for and creating
opportunities to attack the front of the court.
Davies was able to take the pace out of the rally well when
needed, forcing Hanson back with some tight lobs. Davies’
punishing forehand volley secured him a win in games 1 and 2.
Down 2-0, Hanson, much like Garcia in the women’s match, dug
deep and stuck to the basics. He temporarily frustrated Davies
and was able to pull out a win in a close game 3.
Davies,determined now, came out strong in game 4. His belief in
himself and his game was evident as he relied on his signature
style – long reach, speed and patience – to decisively pull
ahead in game four and become the second ever men’s champion of
the Simon Warder Memorial Tournament.
Many thanks to ANJ Industrial Fabricating for their continued
support. And to Ashley, who always believed he had it in him to
win this, congratulations and thank you for giving Sarnia a
truly incredible showing of fitness and craft!

15-Nov, Round ONE:
Leonel Cardenas (MEX) 3-1 Nick Sutcliffe (ENG)
Cardenas had Sutcliffe on the run for the first two games but
Sutcliffe came out determined in game three. He appeared to
frustrate Cardenas with some skilled shot-making. Unfortunately
for Sutcliffe, he could not maintain this and Cardenas came out
with the victory in game 4.
 Anthony
Graham (ENG) 3-0 Josh Hollings (CND)
Game one began with a slow pace, players settling into play.
Near the end of the first the match became more physical. Both
players received a conduct warning for dissent. Third game saw
Graham executing winning drop shots. Hollings had a few unforced
errors. Graham advances after a 3-0 victory.
Graham: “The match became very scrappy which led to me being
tired physically and mentally. I don’t feel I played the best
but I am happy to have moved on through the first round. I’m
hoping to have a
better performance tomorrow”.
Mark Broekman (ENG) 3-0 Mustafa Hamada (USA)
Broekman took control of rallies using his height to play balls
early, which put pressure on Hamada. A few unforced errors by
Hamada allowed Broekman to take the lead. Broekman advances
after 3-0 win.
Broekman: “A bit of a shaky start as I am not used to an all
glass court, but was happy to get through the first game and
settle into the match a little bit and play more of my style of
squash. He is tricky when you give him time and I knew he would
fire the ball in so the basic game plan was to keep it simple
until he attacked then to counter attack, luckily I didn’t need
to divert from that plan too much and am happy to progress to
the quarter finals”.
 Chris
Hanson (USA) 3-1 Vincent Droesbeke (FRA)
Hanson, the number one seed, came out strong, keeping the ball
tight to the wall and keeping the pressure on Droesbeke. Hanson
advances after 3-1 victory.
Tess Jutte (NED) 3-0 Jon Geekie (SCO)
Tess used his height to his advantage, controlling the T when he
could and using his power to keep the ball in the back. Rally’s
up front were chaotic with quick gets and re-drops usually being
played frequently.
 Thaisa
Serafini (BRA) 3-1 Mary Fung-A-Fat (GUY)
Both girls looked to ease into the match, not attacking right
away. Around the mid point of game one Serafini started playing
tight drops up front and forcing her opponent to stretch.
Serafini used her power to keep Fung-A-Fat deep and waited for
an opening to attack front in games 2 and 3.
 Ashley
Davies (ENG) 3-0 Albert Shoihet (CAN)
Both players came out hot, and the game quickly lacked rhythm,
this suited Albert not Ashley. Albert played great attacking
shots, but high risk, some great winners, but also some weak
errors. Ashley had a simple game plan to keep the ball out of
Alberts reach, keep the ball at the back, and wait for an
opening. Albert made some errors at key points in the match,
this led to a close match but a loss.
Diana Garcia (Mex) 3-0 Natashia Seth (local)
Seth was in tough from the get go. The experience and skill of
Garcia was apparent quickly, and did not let down. Seth made a
valiant effort with some great gets, but the pressure created
from Garcia lead to her swift victory.
Adam Murrills (ENG) 3-0 Fernando Magdelano (MEX)
Murrills came out with patience and composure, extending rallies
and waiting for his opportunity in the first. It was a grind to
begin with reaching 8 all before Murrills was able to capitalize
on a couple of loose balls and put it away to win the first.
Second game followed Murrills plan again, as it was tight until
8 all until Murrills forced a few tough shots on Magdelano to
open up an attacking shot for the win. Murrills came out strong
in the third and increased the pressure to ensure a quick
victory.
Nicole Bunyan (CAN) 3-0 Emma Jinks (CAN)
Bunyan came out focussed and determined. Her shots were crisp
and strong, keeping pressure on the young contender. Jinks
retrieved well and was able to use her speed to keep in the
match but overall the
experience of Bunyan prevailed.
Micah Franklin (BER) 3-2 Cameron Seth (CAN)
Seth was attacking well at the beginning of the game. Micah
found his feet though and was able to start pressuring Seth near
the end to capture the game. In the second Seth was able to play
the ball quick and force Micah to react sooner than expected.
This led to numerous unforced errors from Micah, and Seth
grabbing game 2. The next three games became a full on battle of
attrition. Both players exerting all the energy they had. In the
end Micah was able to keep his composure and sneak out the win.
Micaala Seth (CAN) 3-0 Tiffany Hau (USA)
Micaala, despite some few unforced near the beginning, was able
to hone in and use her skills to keep pressure on her opponent.
Each rally was meticulously set up with good length, eventually
transpiring into a nice front court kill shot. Although Hau was
able to use her speed to retrieve some of the shots, Micaala was
already waiting and set to pounce on the next one.
