Borja Beats Bianchetti in Brescia Final
Spain's Borja Golan disappointed local squash fans when, for the second year
running, he upset five-times Italian national champion Davide Bianchetti in
the final of the Mega Italia Open to retain the title in Brescia, Italy.
Bianchetti, the second seed who hails from Brescia, had reached the final for
the third successive year without dropping a game. The fifth-seeded
Spaniard, however, had gate-crashed the $10,000 event climax for the second
time in a row after pulling off the biggest upset in the quarter-finals where
he beat top-seeded Dutchman Tommy Berden in four games.
The Italian was eager to make up for previous years' disappointments, but
Golan was in no mood to relinquish his title to the local hero. The
20-year-old Spanish No1 from Santiago, who broke into the world top 50 this
month, took four games to overcome Bianchetti in a 15-14 15-9 12-15 15-11
scoreline.
The stunning victory extended Golan's impressive record on the PSA Tour to
four title wins from four final appearances - all of which were against the
seeding!
