Macree Beats Brind In Ottawa Final

More than ten years after claiming her first, England's Rebecca Macree celebrated her eighth WISPA World Tour title success with a four game victory over compatriot Stephanie Brind in the final of the Women's Ottawa Squash International at the Goodlife Fitness Club in Ottawa, Canada.

It was the top seed's toughest test in the event, with Brind, a former world No4, appearing in her third final of the year after a title drought stretching back almost four years.

And the second seed from Kent made Macree work for her success, pulling back to one-all after the favourite took the opening game. 

But after 52 minutes, Macree clinched her 9-2 7-9 9-3 9-4 win - a triumph which will boost the chances of the world number nine from Essex moving closer to the career-high world No7 ranking she achieved in May 2003.
