Boswell Celebrates Seven Up In Salt Lake City

Out of action for more than a year following a back injury, Australia's Stewart Boswell has surely now confirmed his complete return to form after winning the men's title at the Squashworks Salt Lake City Open at the Squashworks Club in Salt Lake City, USA - where he not only claimed his seventh successive PSA Tour title in four months, but extended his unbeaten run to 35 matches!

After taking 50 minutes to conquer Salt Lake City-based compatriot Mike Corren in the semi-finals, the 27-year-old from Canberra, seeded two, brushed aside the challenge of England's top seed Phillip Barker to beat the 23-year-old from Upminster in Essex 11-7 11-4 11-6 in 27 minutes.

The women's final also saw the defeat of an English player - though Suzie Pierrepont had already progressed two rounds beyond her seeding position after earlier defeats of third seed Melanie Jans Burke and second seed Runa Reta, both Canadians.

However, top seed Engy Kheirallah was in no mood to be the 20-year-old from Sussex's third unexpected victim. The 23-year-old from Alexandria, ranked 27 in the world, beat Pierrepont 9-2 10-8 9-2 in 35 minutes to claim her second WISPA World Tour title, but the first outside her home country.

Men's final:
[2] Stewart Boswell (AUS) bt [1] Phillip Barker (ENG) 11-7, 11-4, 11-6 (27m)

Women's final:
[1] Engy Kheirallah (EGY) bt [5] Suzie Pierrepont (ENG) 9-2, 10-8, 9-2 (35m)
