Coppinger carries off Swiss title
Starting from 12th seed, it took him 20 games, but South African
Steve Coppinger collected his second PSA title in two
months in Geneva.
Despite his earlier exertions, Coppinger had enough left and
proved just too quick in the final against Egypt's top seed
Mohd Ali Anwar Reda, who had reached the final without
dropping a game.
In the women's final France's European junior champion Camille
Serme led in the first two games, but couldn't hold on as
Margriet Huisman fought back to claim the title in straight
games.

Top Seeds Succumb
in Swiss Semis ...
In a dramatic semi-final session in Switzerland, the women's top
seeds were both beaten in five games.
 Margriet
Huisman took out number one seed Sarah Kippax in an eventful
match which see-sawed its way to a 3/2 result as Sarah was unable
to control her short game. Margriet's more consistent game saw her
through to the final.
France's Camille Serme kept up her recent run of form by
beating no. 2 seed Christina Mak.
Things seemed to be going Christina's way when she 2/1 and 6/1 up,
but from there she didn't score another point. It wasn't that
Christina played badly, but Camille raised her game to new
heights.In the men's semis
top seed Ali Anwar Reda dashed French hopes of two finalist
as he maintained his run of 3/0 wins as he beat Fabien Verseille
to reach the final
Reda now meets Steve Coppinger, who followed up his 3/2 win
over second seed Mathieu Castagnet with another five-setter to
reach his second PSA final, having taken the Buler Challenge in
Hong Kong last month... |

10-Mar-07, Quarters:
Coppinger
sinks another seed
South Africa's Steve
Coppinger continued to upset the seedings in Geneva, looking
very strong as he took out the number two seed Mathieu Castagnet,
dominating the fourth and fifth games as the Frenchman ran out of
steam.
Fabien Verseille maintained French interest as he took out
the only Swiss hope left, the much improved Andre Holderegger. The
match depended on Andre taking the second game which he let slip
12-10 and after that Fabien took control.
In the Ladies the three top seeds were in cruise control in
reaching the semis, although Deon Saffery did her best to upset
France's Camille Serme, but a tight and ultimately decisive
third game sealed the match
Over-35 and
Over-45 events
09-Mar-07:
34 and counting in Geneva
The 34th running of the ever-popular Swiss Open is under way in
Geneva, with all sixteen seeds progressing in the men's first
round.
Stephen Coppinger emerged from two rounds of men's action as the
lowest seed to make the quarter-finals.
After despatching Thomas Phipps in the first round, the UK-based
South African upset another Englishman, No7 seed Neil Hitchens, in
the second round and will now face France's No2 seed Mathieu
Castagnet.
In another upset in the men's event, Hong Kong's sixth seed Dick
Lau became the highest seed to fall when he was beaten by
England's Shaun le Roux.
Milja Dorenbos staged an impressive upset in the other event when
she fought back from two games behind, and from match-ball down in
the third, to beat France's No5 seed Soraya Renai in the women's
first round.
The 23-year-old from the Netherlands - the only unseeded player in
the last eight - now faces third-seeded compatriot Margriet
Huisman for a place in the semi-finals
