De Lierre Delights In Debut PSA Title On Home Soil

Canada's Shawn De Lierre chalked up the first PSA Tour title success of his career, on home soil, when he upset his top-seeded compatriot Viktor Berg in an evenly-contested four-game final of the Quebec Open Squash Classic at Club Atwater in Montreal.

A packed gallery cheered on the two Torontonians, Berg the 26-year-old favourite seeking his second title in his fifth PSA Tour final, and De Lierre, the 21-year-old second seed in his first appearance in a Tour climax.

Berg seemed impatient and always in a rush to end the rallies, whereas De Lierre was highly composed and attacked and retrieved well as he strode to his notable 15-12 17-15 13-15 15-13 victory over the world No49.
