Borja Bounds To Brazilian Open Double

Spanish favourite Borja Golan beat England's Bradley Ball in the final of the Brazil Open to retain his title in Goiania-Goias.

Golan needed 54 minutes and two tie-breaks to overcome second seed Ball 11-10 11-10 11-8 to win the seventh PSA Tour title of his career.

The success creates a remarkable record for the 21-year-old from Santiago de Compostela who has now appeared in seven PSA Tour finals, and clinched the trophy in all seven!

The Englishman had game-ball in the first game at 10-9, which Golan saved before Ball made an error to give the Spaniard a 1/0 lead. Again Ball led in the second 8-4, but further errors gave Golan the advantage which he eventually converted into a 2/0 lead.

Despite having the lead at 5-3 in the third game, Ball was beginning to tire - and the sprightly Golan went on to win in straight games to claim the Brazil Open trophy for the second time.

Final:
[1] Borja Golan (ESP) bt [2] Bradley Ball (ENG) 11-10 (2-0), 11-10 (2-0), 11-8 (54m)
