England's Victoria Lust survived a titanic battle with Nicolette Fernandes of Guyana in the final of the Women's Alicia Hagedorn WISPA Open to win the WISPA Tour 4 squash title at the Mayfair Lakeshore Racquet & Fitness Club in Toronto, Canada.
Only two weeks after 22-year-old Lust beat her 27-year-old opponent 11-6, 8-11, 8-11, 12-10, 11-9 in the quarter-finals of the Racquet Club Invitational in St Louis, the top seed emerged victorious in Toronto by an almost identical 11-4, 7-11, 6-11, 12-10, 11-7 scoreline to claim her latest title.
The win marks the British U23 champion from Cheltenham's second Tour trophy success of the year - and the fourth of Lust's career.
