 Kitchen
& Krajcsak triumph in Oslo
 It proved to be one match too far for French qualifier Romain Tenant, and
the exertions of previous days caught up with him in the final. Second
seed Mark Krajcsak claimed his first PSA title - the first for any
Hungarian - with a
straight-games in in half an hour.
For women's top seed Shelley Kitchen it was a twelfth WISPA final, a
seventh title, and a perfect 27th birthday present as she overcame Tegwen Malik in four games. It was a
tight match with Malik playing well, but although she took the third
she couldn't pick up points in the fourth. |

Tenant qualifies
for Oslo final,
Malik stops Swartz run ...
 Qualifier
Romain Tenant will meet Hungary's second seed Mark Krajcsak
in the final of the Oslo Open after both won marathon semi-finals. Tenant,
the world number 175, overcame fellow Frenchman Yann Perrin, the eighth
seed, recovering from two games down to record a 71-minute win and reach
his second career final. Krajcsak took marginally longer, needing 74
minutes to beat Czech Jan Koukal, clinching his place in the final with an
11/0 scoreline in the fifth.
 Women's
top seed Shelley Kitchen had an easy run to the final as Lauren
Briggs retired mid-way through the second game, but fourth seed Tegwen
Malik was taken the full distance by South African qualifier Tenille
Swartz. Like Tenant, Malik found herself two games down before staging a
comeback that took the Welsh champion into her fifth WISPA final.

30-Nov, Quarter-finals:
Swartz sails on
in Oslo
South African sensation Tenille
Swartz continued her sensational run in Oslo, following up her win over
second seed Annelize Naude with victory over Elise Ng to reach the
semi-finals. Swartz now takes on Welsh champion Tegwen Malik, while the
other semi-final features top seed Shelley Kitchen and third seeded
Lauren
Briggs.
A French finalist is guaranteed in the men's event as Romain
Tenant and Yann Perrin meet in the semi-finals.
Men's draw Women's draw |
 29-Nov, Round one:
Crawford & Tenant stun seeds
in Oslo ... Tenille takes out Naude ...
Stuart Crawford and Romain Tenant scored upset wins over the
first and third seeds, respectively, in the men's opening round. Top seed
Tom Richards didn't look 100% as he fell to Scotland's Crawford, while
qualifier Tenant overcame Amr Ramzy Swelim in straight games.
In the women's event South Africa's Tenille Swartz continued from
where she left off in Belfast, beating second seed Annelize Naude in four
games. |
