Final:
[1] Bradley Hindle bt Jethro Binns
11/8, 11/9, 11/9 (50m)
Hindle homes in on Kranz title
The finals evening started with an exhibition match played by
Peter Creed and Lewys Hurst. playing American to 7, best of 3. The
crowd were well entertained and peter came away the winner 7-6 in
the 3rd.
The final was a tight match, although Bradley always had the edge,
looking stronger at the back end of each game. Jethro dug deep but
was feeling the effects of the 75 minute match in the morning with
Martin Knight. Bradley played good solid squash at a high pace and
ran out the deserved winner taking the winners cheque and his
first PSA title. The tournament was very well organised and the
players were well looked after, I'm sure will all be back next
year.
"I am very pleased
with the tournament, especially with the players who put 100%
effort in, there were plenty of people watching and they wanted to
see lots commitment which was what they got.
"It was good advert for for squash within Slovenia and all the
sponsors were very satisfied with the way the tournament went,
which means we build a template for the next season and with try
and put a tournament on to a higher level next year."

There
was no joy for the local entrants in the qualifying competition for
the Kranz Open as two Welshmen, one Englishman and a Finn progressed
into the main draw ...
"I
was tired today, it took a while to get used to the court, the
floors are quite solid and an interesting shade of green. hopefully
I will improve a little for tomorrow." 
"With
such a hard floor I was struggling with my movement.
