Upsets Continue In $25K Dayton PSA Open
by Charlie Johnson
November 10, 2011 - Three qualifiers made it through to the second round tonight...
It's just too late (1:00 am here in the states- I had to clean up) to write a story, so here's the short and skinny -we had some incredible matches tonight - Danish Khan & Yasir Butt & Olivier Pett scored upsets. Our Pakistani members cheered Khan & Butt on to victory (Butt's match was an incredible 1 & 1/2 hour match!) but they stayed to help push qualifier Pett past Delierre of Canada.
Butt's match went 5 and was awesome at 85 minutes, Grant played for a while against Zac but never in doubt, Khan upset Khalifa 3-1 with a lot of support from the gallery (30 of my members are Pakistani). Grayson upset # 3 Salazr who looked flat, # 4 Simpson won in 35 minutes over El Shorbagy, in the battle of the two big men, Adrian Waller overpowered qualifier Scott Arnold 3-0.
Alister Walker had a 38 minute match with Henrik Mustonen and won 3-0. That match finished while the night's final match was just getting started. In the final match, Qualifier Pett won the first in a tie-breaker, lost second in tiebreaker, won the third in overtime and then closed it out in the 4th.
