Leevey Wins Taranaki
Title In New Zealand
New Zealand's Tamsyn Leevey successfully defended her WISPA
World Tour title at the Kawaroa Park Squash Club in New Plymouth
when she won the Taranaki Open crown in her home country.
The world number 25 beat fellow kiwi Louise Crome in straight
games in the final. Leevey claimed the first game before fighting
back from game ball down in the second to win 10-8. The top seed
then asserted her dominance to win the third and final game to claim
the match 9-3 10-8 9-2.
The victory secures more valuable WISPA world ranking points for New
Zealand national champion Leevey, who just last week toppled
Egyptian world number eight Omneya Abdel Kawy in the first round of
the Qatar Airways Challenge in Doha.
The success marks the first WISPA title success for Leevey this
year, but the sixth of her career.
