KRONEMEYER, MANNING WIN NSW OPEN TITLES

Dutch second seed Karen Kronemeyer dashed local favourite Kasey Brown’s hopes of a first NSW Squash Open crown when she came back to beat the 19-year-old top seed in four games in the women’s final in Sydney.

World No.51 Kronemeyer lost the opening game 9-4 but stormed back to win 9-5 9-5 9-5 and deny world No.34 Brown from Taree in NSW a second career WISPA title following her breakthrough success at the recent WA Open in Perth.

Brown, chasing a Commonwealth Games spot in Melbourne next March, beat NSW’s Sarah Nelson 9-0 9-2 9-2 in the semi-final earlier in the day, while Kronmeyer came back to overcome Stacey Sephton from NSW, 4-9 9-1 9-2 9-3, in the other semi.

Canberra ’s top seed Tim Manning won his first NSW Open title after Sydney second seed Jeff Bond suffered a leg injury when trailing two games to one and was forced to concede the men’s final. Manning took the opener 11-9 and Bond grabbed the second game 11-8 before Manning regained the advantage 11-7.  

While Manning enjoyed an 11-9 11-10 11-7 straight games semi-final win over Sydney ’s Luke Hillier earlier in the day, Bond was stretched to the limit by Sydney ’s Matthew Karwalski which may have contributed to his injury later in the day. Bond eventually won 11-9 8-11 10-11 11-8 11-10 in a marathon five-game match. 

The NSW Open was played at the Thornleigh NSW Squash and Fitness Centre.
