Willstrop Wins Again In Odense

English junior James Willstrop, a qualifier, reached his second successive PSA Tour final in fine style, fighting back from 2-1 down to upset fifth-seeded compatriot Bradley Ball 15-9, 8-15, 7-15, 15-11, 15-8 in the semi-finals of the J&B Odense Squash Open in Denmark. The 18-year-old from Yorkshire claimed his first senior title last month when he became the Swiss Open champion in Geneva - then two weeks later secured the European Junior title in France.

Willstrop's opponent in the final is fellow Englishman Adrian Grant, who overcame a one-game deficit in the other semi-final to beat compatriot Scott Handley 9-15, 15-4, 15-10, 15-6. The two top seeds will contest the women's final - local star Ellen Petersen, the No1 seed, beating Canada's 8th seed Marnie Baizley 9-6, 9-4, 9-3 to earn a clash with second-seeded Scot Pamela Nimmo who defeated France's Isabelle Stoehr 9-2, 9-7, 9-0.
