Bianchetti Clinches Hometown Title

13 Jul 2008

Italy's Davide Bianchetti celebrated hometown success at the Il Leone Shopping Center when he beat Germany's Simon Rosner in the final of the Il Leone Shopping Center Mega Italia Open, the 12th staging of the $10,000 PSA Tour squash event in Brescia.

The 31-year-old top-seeded Italian ended the run of English qualifier Lewis Walters in the semi-finals before facing Rosner, the second seed, in the climax.

Bianchetti reached the final without dropping a game - and maintained his 'clean sheet' in the event by beating the 20-year-old former European Junior Champion 11-5, 11-7, 11-9 in 42 minutes.

It was Bianchetti's fifth appearance in the Mega Italia Open final - and his second success since his maiden win in 2006. The triumph also marked the Brescia boy's eighth Tour title triumph.
