SEKISUI OPEN 2013 final result
The SEKISUI OPEN 2013 took place in Kriens, Switzerland, from May 21st to 26th. With 8 players from the world's top 100, this was an excellent opportunity to experience world-class squash. The result of the final is:
[1] Julian Illingworth (Usa) beat [2] Kristian Frost (Den) 13-11, 11-6, 11-4
American top seed 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 in Kriens, Switzerland.
The top seed from New York took exactly an hour to subdue second seed Frost 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.
"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."
