Grove Park No.1,\u00a0\u00a0Laurence Delasaux extended his remarkable run on the PSA Tour in Canada when he beat Siddharth Suchde in the final of the $6,000 BC Open at Sport Central in Richmond, BC, to claim his third squash Tour title in five weeks as a qualifier!<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old from Hull, ranked 149 in the world, made his breakthrough in the first round where he despatched in-form second-seeded Australian Mike Corren in straight games.<\/p>\n
Successive wins over Welshman Jethro Binns and fourth-seeded compatriot Neil Hitchens took the Yorkshireman into the final – his fifth as a qualifier since finishing as runner-up in the Scandinavian Open in Sweden in June.<\/p>\n
But deadly Delasaux was too strong for Suchde, the third seed from India. After surviving a tie-break first game, the English underdog went on to win 12-10, 11-3, 11-1 in 52 minutes.<\/p>\n
The European Junior champion in 2004, Delasaux first joined the PSA the following year – but, less than two years later, grew tired of touring and gave up his membership.<\/p>\n
However, the sport’s appeal took over again and the young Englishman rejoined the PSA in June this year. Starting with a ranking of 317, Delasaux began a sensational Tour run which included final berths in all but one of the six events he entered – and title triumphs in the Niagara Classic, the Saskatoon Boast Open, and now the BC Open – all in Canada.<\/p>\n
Final:
\n[Q] Laurence Delasaux (ENG) bt [3] Siddharth Suchde (IND) 12-10, 11-3, 11-1 (52m)<\/p>\n
This latest win sent Delasaux soring an incredible 230 places in the PSA rankings to 79 in the World, in little over two months!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
