Bermuda squash international Taylor Carrick made an early exit from the prestigious NASH Cup after suffering a straight-sets defeat at the hands of Canada’s David Baillargeon.
Entering the $33,750 PSA Challenger Tour 30 event at the London Squash & Fitness Club, Carrick faced a formidable opening assignment against the home favourite and seeded Canadian.
Baillargeon imposed his authority early on, controlling the tempo and dominating the front court to take the opening game 11-6.
The Canadian then turned up the pressure in the second, restricting Carrick's attacking options and forcing errors to comfortably double his advantage with an 11-2 victory.
Despite Carrick's spirited efforts to prolong rallies in the third game, Baillargeon proved ruthless, closing out the contest 11-4 in a brisk 22-minute encounter to book his spot in the second round.
