Kitchen Prevails In Greenwich Open Final
In a gripping
climax to the Women's Harrow Greenwich Open, New
Zealander Shelley Kitchen prevailed in 80 minutes to
beat England's Alison Waters to win the WISPA World
Tour Silver 30 squash title in Greenwich in the US
state of Connecticut.
Fourth seed
Kitchen claimed her unexpected place in the final after
upsetting second seed Vanessa Atkinson in the semis -
while Waters, the fifth seed from London, defeated England
team-mate Laura Lengthorn-Massaro, the No6 seed who was
an earlier shock winner over US favourite Natalie Grainger.
In a final in
which the lead changed too many times to count, it was the
28-year-old from Auckland who came back from a game down to
triumph 4-9, 10-9, 9-10, 9-3, 9-2 to claim the 12th
WISPA World Tour title of her career.
