07-Aug:
BOZZA BOUNCING BACK!
 The qualification of the Mamut English Open will see the completion of the
remarkable comeback of Australian Stewart Boswell.
Having
reached an all time high of no.4 in the World in 2003, Boswell sustained a
career threatening back injury.
Unable to play for 18 months it looked as though his career would be
brought to an end before it had a chance to flourish.
Boswell sought advice from all areas of the medical professions and
visited specialists all across Australia, but no-one seemed to be able to
help. |

However, a little over 12 months ago, he began working with a
physiotherapist Steve Saunders in Adelaide. They focussed on changing some
muscle imbalances Saunders had seen in Boswell’s back, and so began the
long road to recovery.
In March of this year, Boswell began his competitive comeback winning a
small challenger event in Australia. Since then he has incredibly managed
to go unbeaten in all 7 of his PSA tournaments to date.
However, the Mamut English Open represents a step-up in class, something
that Boswell is well aware of.

 "I
could not have dreamed it would go so well, but I am still a little way
off the pace of the game at the top level," commented Boswell, from the
USA.
"But I am just delighted to be back on court and it will be fantastic to
back at an event with the top players in the World."
The Mamut English Open hosted by Sheffield City Council takes place at the
Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.
The Crucible has been the scene of some
stunning comebacks during the World Snooker Championships, so few would
bet on Boswell not having an impact!
