Waikato Open PSA Main Draw Match Ups Found
Round 1 of the qualifiers did not see any major upsets with all but one of the seeded players heading through to the qualifying finals. TJ French was the only seeded player to not make it through to the qualifying final with a loss to fellow Kiwi Sam Sayes. All the games were straight forward with 3/0 wins for the players moving into the qualifying finals round.
In the final qualifying round one of the first games up was between Devoy Squash and Fitness Centre player Jamie Oakley and Singaporean Vivian Rhamanan. Oakley got up in the first game showing some great control and shot selection, however this didn’t deter Rhamanan and he stepped it up in the next two games managing to edge his way in front of Oakley with some quality shots and great placement. Oakley wasn’t going to let go of the match easy and he fought hard in the fourth to level the game score. Oakley looked set to close this out in the fifth but unfortunately Rhamanan had to retire with a calf injury, even with injury this was definitely one of the matches of the first round.
The next match was between Australian Darcy Evans and Korean Min Jae Oh. Evans looked comfortable throughout the whole match with Oh just not able to get the right shots and take the points he needed. Evans had a slow start in the third but it never put him out of contention with the match looking very comfortable for the Australian player.
Sam Sayes worked hard throughout his second qualifying match against Han Seung of Korea. The first two games saw both players battling hard for points and having some excellent choice of shots putting the pressure on their opponent. Sayes looked ready to try make another upset with close scores in the first two games, however this was not meant to be the case for Sayes with Seung stepping up in the third and closing out the match.
The final qualifying match saw local Kiwi players Sion Wiggin and Scott Galloway compete for the final spot in the main draw. Galloway was always looking in control throughout the match and although Wiggin tried hard and manged to have some great retrieval he couldn't match the skills and shot selection of Galloway. Galloway sealing the match in three and securing the final main draw spot.
The random draw puts Han Seung of Korea up against top seed and reigning champion Evan Williams of New Zealand. Scott Galloway will face another local kiwi player Luke Jones whilst Australian Darcy Evans will take on Joe Green of England. This left Jamie Oakley of Tauranga to face the second seed Adam Murrills of England. Games kick off at 5pm tomorrow at the Hamilton Squash and Tennis Club.
