Kippax & Le Roux Celebrate English Double at
Swiss Open
The
35th staging of the Sigma
Swiss Open concluded with an English double as top seeds
Shaun le Roux and Sarah Kippax clinched the men's and
women's titles, respectively, after straight games wins in the
finals at Geneva Squash Club in Geneva.
Cape
Town-born Le Roux, from Yorkshire, romped through to the men's final
for the loss of only one game. The 21-year-old faced Carl
Hampson, an unseeded Australian who survived a close five-game
semi-final battle with fellow non seed Olivier Pett, from
England.
But
le Roux prevailed in the final, winning 11-3, 11-5, 11-1 to claim
the second
PSA Tour title of his career.
Sarah Kippax had to overcome English opponents throughout her Geneva
run. In her eighth
WISPA World Tour final, the
24-year-old from Cheshire faced unseeded compatriot Fiona
Moverley, a 21-year-old from Hull celebrating her maiden
appearance in a Tour final after upsets over the event's second and
fourth seeds.
But
Moverley's five-game semi-final battle over New Zealander Kylie
Lindsay had clearly taken its toll, as Kippax stormed through to
win 9-1, 9-0, 9-5 to secure her third Tour title, and her second
this year.
