Waller claims Cerdil Crown
England's Adrian Waller pulled off his
second successive upset in the Cerdil Open in Brazil to win the
tournament after a marathon final at the Shopping Avenida Center in
Dourados.
The 21-year-old fourth seed from Enfield made his breakthrough in
the semi-finals when he despatched local hero Rafael Alarcon, the
No2 seed from Brazil ranked more than ten places higher in the
world, 11-3, 11-6, 11-6.
In the final - his fourth on the PSA Tour - world No65 Waller faced
Jan Koukal, the experienced defending champion from the Czech
Republic who was making his 25th appearance in a PSA final.
And Koukal, ranked 50 in the world, took the opening two games and
looked set to win his second successive title in Dourados, but
Waller kept his focus to win the third game before surviving a
titanic tie-break fourth game 16-14.
With the finishing post now in sight, Waller stormed on to win
in 105 minutes to collect the second PSA title of his career.

et jouer avec une balle noire...
Enfin voila c'est comme ça! Maintenant, retour à la maison puis

Champion Koukal Challenged In
Dourados
Jan Koukal successfully began the defence of his title in the
Cerdil Open in Brazil - but the top seed from the Czech Republic was
taken the full distance before surviving the opening round at the Shopping Avenida
Center in Dourados.
The world No50 had to fight back from 2/1 down to overcome unseeded
Mexican Fernando Lopez 11-5, 8-11, 10-12, 11-4, 11-3 in 48
minutes.
Koukal, winner of the inaugural event in 2010, will now face
Peter Creed after the 24-year-old Welshman beat Brazilian legend
Ronivaldo Santos, the 38-year-old former world No95 from Sao
Paulo, 11-7, 11-5, 11-9.
But local interest in the event is being maintained by Rafael Alarcon. The No2 seed from Sao Paulo defeated Argentina's
Juan Pablo Roude 11-6, 11-4, 11-3.
Alarcon will now take on another Argentinean Hernan D'Arcangelo,
who prevailed 11-8, 11-4, 11-3 in an all-qualifier clash with
England's Luke Butterworth.
