Galvez Gets Champion Alarcon In Losone Final

30 Apr 2007

Mexico's Eric Galvez justified his seeding in the Losone Swiss Classic when he defeated Brazil's defending champion Rafael F Alarcon in the final of the PSA Tour event in its third year at the Squash Center in Losone, Switzerland.

The 23-year-old top seed from Puebla recovered from the effects of a marathon 92-minute encounter with US National Champion Julian Illingworth in the previous round to fight back from a game down to beat Alarcon, seeded two, 4-11, 11-7, 11-5, 11-6 in 66 minutes.

It was the fourth straight PSA Tour win by Galvez over his Pan American rival - and a victory which brought the world No36 his first Tour win of the year, but the sixth of his career.

Final:
[1] Eric Galvez (MEX) bt [2] Rafael F Alarcon (BRA) 4-11, 11-7, 11-5, 11-6 (66m)
