 American Chris Gordon
kept home hopes flying when he staged a thrilling comeback to
beat England’s Adrian Waller in the qualifying competition of
the Davenport North American Open.
Trailing by two games to one, Gordon hit back to win the fourth
game and then clinched a dramatic fifth by a 12-10 margin after
80 minutes of brutal squash on the new courts at ACAC in Short Pump, Richmond.
The qualifying finals of this PSA World Series event move to the
glass court at the Westwood Club in Richmond, where Gordon meets
Australia’s Zac Alexander, who overcame Fred Reid of
Canada in just 21 minutes.
 Another Canadian who was dismissed in straight games was Andrew
Schnell, who suffered traumatic travel difficulties because of a
North American blizzard. After several missed flights, he
arrived just in time to lose to England’s Joe Lee in 36
minutes.
An all-Australian clash ended abruptly when Ryan Cuskelly was
forced to retire against Matthew Karwalski because of an
ankle injury. Karwalski meets US-based Pakistani Yasir Butt,
who fought back from two games to one down to beat Shaun Le Roux
of South Africa.
France enjoyed a double success when Mathieu Castagnet
beat England’s Robbie Temple and Gregoire Marche removed
Sergio Lopez of Mexico in just 21 minutes.
