RESULTS:    Swedish Open Squash Championships, Linköping, Sweden

Men's final:
[3] Nick Matthew (ENG) bt [1] Karim Darwish (EGY) w/o

Women's final:
[2] Line Hansen (DEN) bt [6] Victoria Lust (ENG) 11-8, 11-6, 11-8 (23m)


England's Nick Matthew and Dane Line Hansen celebrated contrasting title triumphs in the Swedish Open Squash Championships at the Sporthallen in Linköping, Sweden.

The climax of the men's Case Swedish Open, a $60,000 PSA Tour 5-star event, saw both Matthew and top seed Karim Darwish marking their 25th appearances in a PSA Tour final.

But the celebrations were short-lived for the Egyptian favourite when Darwish was forced to concede the match after sustaining an ankle injury in his semi-final victory over teenage compatriot Mohamed El Shorbagy.

The outcome in his second successive Tour final of the year marked third seed Matthew's eighth career title - but no doubt the easiest of all!

Sixth seed Victoria Lust was hoping to make it an English double in the final of the women's Zack Swedish Open, a $6,000 WISPA World Tour championship. 

The 19-year-old from Bedfordshire upset top seed Annelize Naude en-route to reaching her third successive Tour final since December.

But second seed Line Hansen was too strong for the English teenager, winning 11-8, 11-6, 11-8 in just 23 minutes to capture the sixth Tour title of her career - but the first in Scandinavia.
