Bianchetti Celebrates Home-Town Hat-Trick In Brescia

Italian squash star Davide Bianchetti celebrated the third PSA Tour title in his hometown when he won the inaugural Progetto 6 Open in Brescia.

Winner of the Mega Italia Open earlier this year, and two years ago, Bianchetti was seeded to notch up his hometown hat-trick.

The 31-year-old duly reached the final - the 19th of his career - after beating Jens Schoor, the third seed from Germany, 11-7, 11-6, 11-3 in the semi-finals.

Second seed Ben Ford had a harder route to the climax, taking 50 minutes to overcome fourth-seeded Italian Luca Mastrostefano 11-1, 13-15, 11-5, 11-7 to reach his fourth PSA final.

But Bianchetti made full use of his home advantage, beating the Englishman 11-7, 13-11, 11-8 in 42 minutes to claim the ninth Tour title of his career.
