Leo Lands Bankers Hall Double

The repeat of last year's final of the Bankers Hall Club Pro Am in Canada produced a repeat of last year's result when Hong Kong's Leo Au beat Raphael Kandra of Germany to successfully retain the PSA World Tour Challenger 10 squash title at the Bankers Hall Club in Calgary, Alberta.

"Defending champion Leo was flawless in the defence of his crown here at the Bankers Hall Club Pro Am in downtown Calgary," explained tournament host Bob Ballinger, the club's Head Squash Professional. "Matching Kandra shot for shot and with virtually no mistakes he was going to be tough to be on this day."

Top seed Au, the 23-year-old World No.41, took 60 minutes to record his third successive Tour win over fourth seed Kandra, ranked 28 places below, 11-9, 11-6, 11-5.

The win marks Au's fifth PSA Tour title.

"So next year we will see if Au can be the first three-time champ of the tournament," added Ballinger. "He has now joined Arturo Salazar and Chris Simpson as back-to-back two-time champions!"
