Dane Line Hansen justified her top billing in the Women's Racquet Club
Invitational when she brushed aside England's Victoria Lust in the
final of the WISPA World Tour 8 squash event at The Racquet Club in St
Louis, USA.
While the world No30
from Odense
reached the final after beating local star Olivia Blatchford, the
fourth seed from New York, in four games, third seed Lust battled to a
five-game upset over second seed Latasha Khan to claim her unexpected
place in the climax.
But the toil of the
semi had clearly
taken its toll on the 21-year-old world No38 from Cheltenham as Hansen
romped to an 11-7, 11-6, 11-8 victory to win the inaugural Tour title
in the second-largest city in the US state of Missouri.
The title triumph marks
Hansen's first Tour success of the year - but the ninth of the
27-year-old's career.
Final: [1] Line Hansen (DEN)
bt [3] Victoria Lust (ENG) 11-7, 11-6, 11-8
