Matthew downs Robberts in exciting final.

Atlanta May 13 - Nick Matthew won his first Atlanta Open by beating Michael Robberds in a thrilling 70 minute marathon match.

Matthew, hailing from England, was denied in last years final by the Finn Juha Raumolin in 5 sets but made sure to make amends by taking this years Open.

The four game match saw Matthew winning the first, second and fourth by identical 15-13 scores that were representative of the even see-saw play that characterized the final.

"Ifelt good all week and feel great that I was able to win my second PSA title this year after being injured for most of the season" said Matthew. " I will take a week's break and then set my sights on the British Open which will start in the beginning of June. I am hoping for a strong showing there."
