Fantastic Ferreira Wins In Winnipeg

Mexico's Jorge Isaac Baltazar Ferreira continued his spectacular run on the PSA Tour since rejoining the international circuit in March when he lifted the title at the Bieber Securities Fall Classic in Winnipeg, Canada

The 24-year-old from Mexico City picked up his first PSA Tour title in Quebec in April when he won the National Bank of Canada La Sportheque Pro-Am - as a qualifier.

Last month, again as a qualifier, he reached the final of the Saskatoon Boast Open in Saskatchewan - then continued his giant-killing run in Winnipeg, again working through the qualification competition before taking out two seeds in the main draw to reach the last four.

In the semi-finals, Ferreira faced top seed Jan Koukal - and upset the experienced Czech No1 10-11 (1-3), 11-5, 11-6, 11-10 (2-0) in 66 minutes to set up a final clash with local player Robin Clarke, the No2 seed from Ottawa.

It took just 39 minutes for the Mexican underdog to wrap up an 11-9, 11-2, 11-3 victory over the Canadian to clinch the PSA Super Satellite title.

Ferreira started his PSA campaign seven months ago ranked 258 in the world. The PSA newcomer made his top 100 debut this month and looks certain to crash into the top 50 within a short time!

Final:
[Q] Jorge Isaac Baltazar Ferreira (MEX) bt [2] Robin Clarke (CAN) 11-9, 11-2, 11-3 (39m)
