Grant & Golan Make Motor City Final

The top two seeds Adrian Grant and Borja Golan will contest the final of the Motor City Open after securing straight games wins in the semi-finals of the $30,000 PSA Tour squash event at Birmingham Athletic Club in Detroit, USA.

Grant, the favourite from England, brought to an end the 'giant-killing' run of unseeded Egyptian Tarek Momen. The 20-year-old from Cairo upset two higher-seeded Australians, Stewart Boswell and Cameron Pilley, to claim his surprise place in the semis.

But left-handed Londoner Grant was too strong for the promising Egyptian, winning 11-9, 11-9, 12-10 to earn his 21st PSA Tour final appearance - but his first in Detroit at his third attempt.

Second seed Golan, in his maiden Motor City Open appearance, also defeated a surprise opponent, Olli Tuominen. The Flying Finn, a firm favourite in Detroit, earned his place in the last four after upsetting Laurens Jan Anjema, the third seed from the Netherlands.

But the in-form Spanish number one cruised to an 11-5, 11-4, 12-10 win over Tuominen to claim the 26th Tour final appearance of his career.

Semi-finals:
[1] Adrian Grant (ENG) bt Tarek Momen (EGY) 11-9, 11-9, 12-10
[2] Borja Golan (ESP) bt [6] Olli Tuominen (FIN) 11-5, 11-4, 12-10
