Grayson wins final marathon in Saskatoon
Brad Birnie reports
The crowd was ecstatic to witness a fantastic five-game final match
in which Campbell Grayson put on a demonstration of determination
and will by earning the victory over defending-champion Zac
Alexander in five games.
Obviously gassed after his last two extremely long matches, Grayson
took plenty of time between rallies, retrieved many winners from
Alexander and played immaculate length and numerous precise short
shots at the right moments.

Qualifying Finals:
Eric Galvez (Mex) 3-0
Johan Bouquet (Fra)
11/4, 11/4, 11/1 (35m)
2006 Boast Champion Galvez dominated this one from the
start. With Bouquet hitting a little looser, Galvez took
advantage.
Scott Arnold (Aus) 3-1 Robert Downer (Eng)
6/11, 11/3, 11/7, 11/6 (47m)
After Downer came out guns a blazin' to win game 1, Arnold's
steady, solid play wore Downer down and he lost patience.
Ben Coleman (Eng) 3-0
Thomas Brinkman (Can)
11/9, 11/3, 11/9 (37m)
Very tight first game, then there became a huge difference
in Brinkman not able to keep up with the attacking,
mistake-free pace of Coleman in game 2. Very close third
game could have gone either way.
Farhan Zaman (Pak) 3-1 Steve London (Eng)
8/11, 11/5, 11/6, 11/4 (41m)
London edged Zaman in game 1 with better length. Zaman then
began a barrage of outstanding drops that took its toll on
London who tired and gradually lost the edge he had in game
1.
