Maringa Park Open 2012
11-16 Sep, Maringa, Brazil, $5k |
16-Sep, Final:
Eddie consigns Rafa to fourth runners-up spot in a row
in his own back yard
 England's Eddie Charlton claimed his second PSA title when he
beat top seed and home favourite Rafael Alarcon 3-2 (13-11, 8-11, 11-5, 6-11,
11-6) in the final of the Maringa Perk Open in Brazil.
After the top two seeds came through a punishing schedule with the
quarter and semi-finals being played on Saturday, it was Charlton
who lasted the better in the early afternoon final, to collect his
second title almost a year after his first success in the Czech
Republic.
For Alarcon it's a fourth successive runners-up spot in Brazilian
tournaments, having lost out in the finals in the Cerdil, Ponta
Laguna and BH Opens since winning the Paraguay Open title in May.
 "Obviously
very happy not only to beat him but in his home country," explained
the 24-year-old Nottingham man.
"I tried a few new things this summer, trained in America with Damon
[Brown] which was extremely beneficial, spent some time with Natalie
Grainger coaching/training which was also great and I must thank
both those guys.
"I've spent time with Camps [David Campion] who has been a great
help and support. I've spent time training in Pontefract under
Malcolm [Willstrop] which has definitely contributed to this week's
success. And also thanks to Fi [Geaves] for her continued support
and work with me.
"It was a tough schedule, and yesterday part of the back wall
shattered on the glass court so I had to play Manuel on the hottest
court I have ever played on/seen. 3/1 in 80mins!
"Can't complain though ... Now to spend the day by the hotel pool
and head over to Brasilia tomorrow morning!"

Top seeds to contest Maringa Park final
Top seeds Rafael Alarcon and Eddie Charlton won
through to the final with two wins on a tough second day of the
Maringa Park Open in Brazil, but the pair can't look forward to much
of a rest with the final set for 13.00 on Sunday ...
Reached the semis after a 80 min match!
Glad with the way I played :)! Have to recover now to be ready for
tonight!
