15-Mar, Final:

[1] Kristian Frost (Den) 3-0 [4] Joel Makin (Wal)
                 13/11, 11/7, 11/6 (68m)

Frost tales 11th PSA title in Zurich
John Williams reports

A very tough first game, 33 minutes, which was crucial to the outcome perhaps. At 6-6 in second Frost's experience is telling, Makin frustrated with some errors and poor shot selection. Frost opens up a 10-3 lead in the third, takes it 11-6 on his fourth match ball.

Makin will take positives despite the three-nil loss, he displayed great tenacity & court coverage. Frost has his 11th PSA title - very happy of course after being looked after first-Hand by tournament organiser himself all week ;-)

Kristian Frost:
"Not surprised at all that I had to battle for 68min for a 3-0 win as Joel is a very strong, tough lad. He shows superb athleticism & flexibility in his movement.

"Winning the first game was crucial in the context of the match. The match actually also counted as a challenge match to decide who Plays No.1 in my Danish league Team :-)"

Joel Makin:
"Gutted to lose but it was the best quality of Squash I played in the 4 matches here at the Swiss Open. Always tough battles with Kristian (also in practise), but it was fought in the best of Spirits - which is the way it should be - without too many stoppages.

"I will have to continue with my daily 2-hours of yoga & work even harder to clinch that No.1 spot in Kristian's Danish league Team & hopefully a Swiss Open title in 2016 :-)"

13-Mar, Quarters:
Swiss fall in Zurich quarters
John Williams reports

In Zurich today the last of the Swiss hopes were extinguished as the higher seeded Players moved through to the semis, along with PSA Player of the month - Daniel Poleshchuk.

Top seed Kristian Frost was made to work very hard versus the the crafty & unorthodox German Tim Weber. After surviving a match ball at 9-10 in the fifth, Frost constructed two excellent rallies where he finished both with well disguised cross flicks that the tired German was unable to cover.

Next up Poleshchuk continued his hot run of late with an impressive 3-0 victory over Swiss No.5 Patrick Miescher. Poleshchuk showed a great Array of firepower once again on a glass court that rewards attacking Squash.

Young Welsh hopeful Joel Makin proved too solid for Swiss No.3 Beni Fischer with a hard earned 4-game victory. After the first two games were evenly contested, Makin gradually imposed his physical game style upon his Swiss Opponent & the damn broke in the fourth as he swept Fischer aside & moved into the semis on saturday.

Last up on court was local Vitis Boy - Manuel Wanner - against the A380 wingspan of Joel Hinds :-).

Hinds had the better of his younger Opponent in the first two games, but the Zurich crowd favourite mounted his comeback with a higher intensity in the thrid game.

In the end the experience of the Englishman was the difference though, as he surged to victory in the fourth, taking advantage of a series of unforced errors from Wanner midway through the last game.
