Leevey Lands Fourth WISPA Title In New Zealand

New Zealand's Tamsyn Leevey has claimed her fourth title on the women's WISPA World Squash Tour.

The world number 31 has taken out the Taranaki Open, with a comprehensive 9-0 9-2 9-2 demolition of Australian Kasey Brown in the final at the Kawaroa Squash Club in New Plymouth.

Leevey totally outclassed the third seed in the decider, never letting her opponent settle as she strolled to victory in just 21 minutes.

It is Leevey's third title this year, after she won both the North Shore International and the Geyser City Open in March.
