Fullers lose out in Sekusi semis
Today's semifinals were just two matches, but from 10am on
also the national Swiss Squash tournament was taking place
at the Sportpark Pilatus in Kriens.
So the day was quiet busy for the organising team and the
crew behind the bar/grill. But let's start now with the two
PSA semis:
First
on was Tom Ford against Lyell Fuller, two
players that showed a very good and solid performance in
their first round matches.
This time, Ford was again able to let his opponent looking
old.
He proceeded to his first ever "Kriens final" in three clear
games. It took him just 34 minutes to overcome his fellow
englishman.
The second semifinal saw the next Fuller, Chris,
coming on court (for all who don't know that - no they are
not brothers) against Kristian Frost.
Frost
who seems to feel like home in Kriens won this match in just
three games - still the two players spent over an hour on
court.
As the courts were warm and bouncy as always the rallies
were very long, but Frost was the one who managed to finish
the rallies with a cleverer shot selection than his
opponent.
After the semifinals there was also a very tasty Paella
dinner, where participants, parents, coaches and visitors
came together to fade away the long day.
Tomorrow's final will see Tom Ford in his first PSA final in
Kriens, where Kristian Frost will be making his sixth
apperance.
Let's
see if Ford will be able to prevent Frost of getting his
name inscribed on the trophy next to the names of Mohamed
Abouelghar and Julian Illingworth for the second time...
