Ferreira Romps To Rochester Success

23 Jan 2007

Mexico's Jorge Isaac Baltazar Ferreira swept to victory in the Rochester Pro Open in Rochester in the USA to claim his second successive title on the PSA Tour.

The top seed from Mexico City was taken to four games in his semi-final against South Africa's Regardt Schonborn, the fourth seed.

Scotland's Kristen Johnson secured his first appearance in a Tour final after ending James Snell's run, beating the English qualifier in four games.

In a closely-contested final, the 24-year-old Mexican beat seventh-seeded Johnson 11-9, 11-10 (2-0), 11-5 to win his first title of the year - and maintain his unbeaten record since winning the Bieber Securities Fall Classic trophy in Winnipeg last November.

Final:
[1] Jorge Isaac Baltazar Ferreira (MEX) bt [7] Kristen Johnson (SCO) 11-9, 11-10 (2-0), 11-5
