Frost comeback stops Lee in Zurich
After looking down and out at two
games to love down, Kristian Frost managed to turn the
tide & overcome Joe Lee in today's Swiss Open final in
Zurich.
Lee dominated the play in all aspects of the first two games &
held the Danish No.1 under enormous pressure, as he took control
of the centre of the court & dictated proceedings.
In game three however, Frost got off to a good start & finally
showed the grit & determination that characterizes his way of
playing. He cut down the angles by keeping things much tighter &
the effects of his patience & persistence took its toll on the
Englishman the longer the match wore on.
Finally in game five after a tremendous battle in the first four
games, Frost broke Lee's resistance as he cantered to victory &
swept up his second Swiss Open title in succession.
Frost's title in Zurich is another one for him to add to the
growing collection of PSA titles on Swiss soil - now standing at
six (out of a total of 14).
