Greg Grabs Grasshopper Glory

France's world No.3 Gregory Gaultier lived up to his top billing in the 2015 Grasshopper Cup when he took home the PSA International 70 squash title following a commanding straight games victory over top-ranked German Simon Rösner in the final at Puls 5 in Zurich, Switzerland.

Gaultier dominated from the outset against the world No.10 from Paderborn who looked visibly fatigued after spending over 200 minutes on court going into the finale - including a mammoth 94-minute semi-final. The Frenchman rarely looked troubled as he claimed the 29th PSA World Tour title of his career without the loss of a single game during the tournament.

The man known as the 'General' was in charge throughout the competition and he despatched all comers to send a strong message out to his main title-rivals ahead of next month's Allam British Open, where he'll be hoping to retain the title he won in 2014.

"Winning this title means a lot because I haven't won a tournament for around six months," said Gaultier.

"I've had a fantastic week here, not only because I won, but because the quality of the event has been very high and I'm really happy with the form I have had on court through the week.

"It gives me a lot of confidence going forward to have a good week like this so I'm very happy."
