Youngsters prevail in Brisbane
Queensland's Zoe Petrovansky won her first title on the women's
professional squash tour when she took out the Australia Day
Challenge in Brisbane on Sunday, beating Sarah Cardwell in the
final.
The 20-year-old Petrovansky beat Cardwell, 18, 11-3, 11-13, 11-7,
11-13, 11-7 in both players' first ever appearance in a title
decider.
The two players are seen as the future of Australian squash, with
Petrovansky the reigning Australia junior champion and Cardwell the
under 17 title holder.
Cardwell is the daughter of multiple British Open winner Vicki
Cardwell.
In the men's final, Brisbane's Zac Alexander won his fourth title
but his first on Australian soil when he beat top seed Mike Corren
in four games 11-8, 6-11, 12-10, 11-1.
Alexander, 20, had previously won three times in Malaysia on the
men's professional tour.
