Top seed Eric Galvez survived a two-hour marathon semi-final in the Saskatoon Boast Squash Open to set up an all-Mexican final against qualifier Jorge Isaac Baltazar Ferreira in the $10,000 PSA Tour event in Saskatchewan, Canada.

The match between Galvez and England's third seed Bradley Ball was poised at two-all and 11-11 after 118 minutes - both players looking totally spent yet still managing dazzling rallies at the end of the match with terrific gets and aggressive volleys.

Galvez, however, was able to loosen up at the right time and took the final two rallies - and a ticket to the final – to record an impressive 11-6, 10-11 (6-8), 11-5, 3-11, 11-10 (3-1) victory.

Qualifier Jorge Isaac Baltazar Ferreira, of Mexico, is ranked 186 in the world - but played like a top 40 player as he dispatched fifth seed Jesse Engelbrecht of Zimbabwe 11-5, 5-11, 11-6, 11-7 in 55 minutes in the other semi-final.

The UK-based Zimbabwean said afterwards that his legs "just didn't have the same jump after his tough five-game victory over Miguel Angel Rodriguez (the second seed) in the quarter finals".

Said tournament organiser Daryl Foreman:  "So we have an all Mexican final at the Saskatoon tournament - which could be attributed to the warm courts and 19 inch tin or perhaps the fantastic retrieving and fine shot-making of Eric Galvez and Jorge Ferreira also could have a lot to do with it.

"The fans here have been treated to excellent matches and are looking forward eagerly to the finals."
