 Picture from Squash Site IslandStats.com A month after winning his exhibition match at the BSRA Bernardo Samper was in excellent form and took a straight game win over Gilly Lane to claim the inaugural Madison Open title.
Gilly got off to a horrible start in the first but picked it up in the second to nearly level the match. At 10-8 and rolling, Gilly took his foot off and made two very silly tins to force a tie break. They evened at 11, but clearly Bernardo got into Gilly's head and finished the game 13-11. And that was it really. Gilly had no confidence, and nothing was working.
It was a great tournament for Bernardo though as he only lost one set the entire week. This is the second win for him in month, so it will be fun to watch to see how he does at the next stop on the tour.
