25-Mar,
Final:
Badr closes out Clod title
Sweden's top seed
Badr Adel Aziz won a marathon final against German Andre
Haschker to claim the Clod Open title in Milan, recovering
from 2/1 down to capture his third PSA title.
24-Mar, Semis:
Heartbreak for Luca
Local favourite Luca Mastrostefano narrowly failed in
his bid to reach the final of the Clod Open in Milan.
The Italian took the first two games comfortably against
Andre Hashcker, but the German fought back to take the
third. Luca couldn't convert two match balls as he lost the
fourth 13/11 and squandered a 9/5 lead in the fifth.
In the final Haschker meets top seed Badr Adel Aziz,
after the Swede ended the qualifying run of Englishman Jonny
Harford.

with the Clod Open, a $3k satellite event.

more comfortable quarter-final against a second German
opponent in Patrick Gaessler, and faces a third German,
