Illingworth Wins PSA Sekisui Challenger from PSA Media May 27, 2013
- American Julian Illingworth denied Kristian Frost Olesen a second
successive Sekisui Open title when he defeated the Dane in straight
games in the final of the PSA World Tour Challenger 10 event at
Sportpark Pilatus Kriens in Kriens, Switzerland.
The top seed from New York took exactly an hour to subdue second seed
Olesen 13-11, 11-6, 11-4 to win the 11th PSA Tour title of his career.
"Illingworth played really well today," said tournament organiser Mario
Tschopp. "He was very precise and played a lot of deadly shots.
"Frost fought as he always does but today the luck was not on his side.
He lost his first game on the courts in Kriens. But with three finals
in three years he can still be satisfied!
"The Sekisui Open 2013 run very well," added Tschopp. "We hope that we
can improve it again for next year. As SEKISUI signed a contract until
2020, the Sekisui Open will be held next year again."
