Schoor Captures Valencia Crown by Sean Reuthe December 8, 2015
- Number three seed Jens Schoor secured his 10th career PSA World Tour
title at Mazen Gamal’s expense after defeating the Egyptian 3-1 in the
final of the PSA Valencia, M10 tournament.
Both players came through exceptionally difficult semi-final fixtures
with Schoor overcoming top seed Kristian Frost Olesen in five games
while Gamal saw off Piedro Schweertman in a mammoth 3-2 battle.
Schoor seemed to have recovered better than his opponent after a fast
start saw him power to an 11-3 victory in game one before a much closer
second game went Gamal’s way to level the scores.
The pair traded a number of high-octane blows in the third game with
both players remaining consistent but it was Schoor who edged ahead
courtesy of his triumph on the tie-break.
That broke Gamal’s resolve and World No.74 Schoor went up a gear to
record an 11-3, 9-11, 12-10, 11-5 win to claim his first PSA World Tour
title of the year.
