Shaun Le Roux 3-0 Ben Coleman
                         11/5 11/6 11/6 (62mn)

Ben Coleman

Really enjoyed my first time in Paris, I look forward to returning soon . I gave it all I had in the final but unfortunately it wasnt quite good enough this time.

Congratulations to Shaun, he lived up to his top seed billing.

Hopefully next time I am back I can finish as the winner instead of runner up but its been a very positive week for me.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this event work. Now its time for me to get home and enjoy the rest of my birthday with my family.


Shaun Le Roux

Really happy to have won the tournament . Its been a hard week Ive felt, and a lot of it was more mentally tiring than physical. It was hard because I had to be prepared for a long match everytime I went on court so from that point of view Im even more happy. I feel Ive played solid squash all through the week and pleased to get rewarded for it.

A big thank you to Danny and his team for putting on such a great event. I've really enjoyed Paris and hopefully be back next year. Well done to Ben as well for a good tournament and Im sure he'll get that tournament win soon.

Shaun :
That was a looong match ! I know Ive said it all week but it's not getting shorter. But I'm happy to be in the final. One more match to go and its against my room mate for the last week.

So hopefully we have a good match and not as long as the others !

                      8/11, 14/12, 6/11, 11/9, 11/9 (105mn)

Ben :
Really happy with how I played out there today. Ivan was always top 2/3 in the world in our junior days so I am very happy to beat him.

Really enjoying my time in Paris and cannot wait to play the final tomorrow . Playing my room mate for the week and top seed Shaun, should be good.

 

"A special mention for Rex & Ivan who gave all they had which made it a spectacular semi-finals night with two fantastic marathon matches at the Jeu de Paume de Paris also for their approach and attitude….

An example to all of what “sportsmanship” is all about…"

Shaun Le Roux bt Sebastiaan Weenink
                        11/4 9/11 13/11 11/2 (65mn)

Shaun :
Felt a bit better today but still struggling with how bouncy the court is. But its obviously the same for both players and I’m expecting to be on court for an hour. Really liking Paris so far especially the bakeries ! Feeling good for my semi final tomorrow

Sebastiaan :
First game I did not get into the match , he played solid and my basic game was poor. In the second and third it felt more equal, anyones game really, I won the second he won the third. For some reason I felt I had to change tactics, I opened up the court to much, and he took full advantage. All the best to Shaun in the rest of the tournament.

Thank you Paris and thank you Danny Mandil and his team for a great tournament, hope to back here one day !

Rex Hedrick bt Jens Schoor    11/2 12/10 11/6 (50mn)

Rex :
Happy to get off with a 3-0 there. Jens started slowly in the first but towards the end of the second he really got the control off of me and I felt quite lucky that I was able to hang in there long enough to pinch that game.

At 2-0 I was confident to keep building pressure and close it out. Very keen to get back on there and battle it out with Shaun tomorrow.

Ben Coleman bt Carlos Cornes Ribadas
                         11/5 12/14 11/8 11/5 (75mn)

Ben :
Wasnt my best performance but happy to go through to the semi finals of course …. Fair play to Carlos he played well. looking forward to my match tomorrow and a good performance from me !

Ivan Yuen bt Mahesh Mangaonkar
                         11/6 10/11 (Mahesh retired injured)

Ivan
Started off well in the first but an accident happened there whereby Mahesh got into an ankle injury in the end of second game when going for his shot . He has to retire from the match as it was quite a bad one and hope for a speedy recovery.

However, I have still got to prepare myself for my match tomorrow...

A quick word about this first round. Apparently, the temperature in Paris is nice - most of the matches went over the hour, with the Palme d'Or going to Le Roux/Garbi match, 91m. Also to be noted that seed4 Jan Koukal is out, compliment of Spanish Carlos Cornes. And last, the two French in the competition have bowed out, Demont against Englishman Ben Coleman, and WC Bouquet against seed 5 Mahesh Mangaonkar.

Shaun Le Roux bt Alejandro Garbi Caro
                   9/11 11/9 11/5 11/9 (91mn)

Shaun :
Definitely one of the hottest /bounciest courts I’ve played on, so I’m happy yo get through after 90 mins ! A bit disappointed to drop the first after being 8-3 up. At least I’m prepared for it now and hopefully play better tomorrow.

Ivan Yuen bt Reiko Peter  11/8 11/13 11/3 11/8 (50mn)

Ivan :
First time in Paris. Is a great place to be and a great tournament as well. Played my first match today and looking forward for the next one. Is a different court here as well with a glass side wall which makes it interesting to see and different to play in. Hoping for the best in this great tournament.

Rex Hedrix bt Tim Weber      11/6 11/4 11/5 (44mn)

Rex :
Very lively courts which suited me better today. Tim has nice hands and touch so I was trying to keep it fast and always keep him moving which paid off in the end. Looking forward to the quarter finals tomorrow, but now its off to check out the eiffel tower!!

Sebastiaan Weenink bt Khawaja Adil Maqbool
                     11/8 11/3 11/4 (25mn)

Seb Weenink :
Quick match. First match of the tournament always a bit nervous, first game I felt as if I was playing with him this I changed in the second and third. It looked like he was having trouble moving, so I made sure to keep the ball away from him, as his racket skills are strong. Happy to win and to get through to the next round !

Adil Maqbool :
First time back in Paris since I played here as a junior a long time ago. Its a very well organised event and a very different yet welcoming atmosphere here at the club. Had a hit on the courts earlier and it seemed very very lively. I have been assured that it cools down in the evening, so counting on that.

Been struggling a bit with my movement recently , had injured myself in Pakistan during the quarterfinal a few weeks back…. all credit to him (Sebastiaan) for using that to his advantage. Hope to be fit and back next year

Jens Schoor bt Benjamin Fischer 11/8 11/5 11/6 (50mn)

Jens Schoor :
I was quite satisfied with my performance today. My attacking game was working quiet well tonight and I felt comfortable on court. Benjamin tried the best he could to hold against it and we ended up with a couple of really long and fantastic ralleys. Now I am looking forward to tomorrow.

Ben Coleman bt Geoffrey Demont
                                 11/9 11/5 12/10 (60mn)

Ben Coleman :
Really enjoying my first time in Paris, happy to win my match 3-0.

Looking forward to some food and rest now and then to getting back on court tomorrow for my quarter final match

Malesh Mangaonkar bt Johan Bouquet
                                  11/7 8/11 11/8 11/5 (73min)

Mahesh :
Enjoyed winning my first match against the home boy (Johan Bouquet) The court was very bouncy and high tin so had to be very patient and wait for the opportunity to put it short. Tomorrow will be a good test as I play Ivan . Hope to play my best and come out with a win. So far loving it here in Beautiful Paris.

Rex HEDRICK:
Good to be in Paris, First time in France actually. Ive only been here 1 day and so far Im really enjoying it. Looking forward to trying all the local food and seeing all the attractions and hopefully the squash will go well too. Very nice club though which always makes it easier to play well.

Benjamin FISCHER:
Very happy to qualify, Alex is a very good player and the last two times he beat me so im happy i won this time.

This is my first time in Paris and I really like it so far. I’m excited for the main draw tomorrow. Looking forward to whoever I play.

Carlos CORNES:
Happy to get through, sometimes you cant play the best squash but you still have to dig in and win…all credit to him (Damien Volland) as he was playing great squash both yesterday and today.. so now time to recover and see who I get tomorrow…bonsoir !!!!!!!

Qualifications Results

This is my first time in Paris and from first impressions I'm really liking it.

The club is really nice and the surrounding area is amazing, being so close to all the major attractions. Felt like a typical tourist today going to see the Eifel Tower and having a crepe.

I'm really looking forward to the tournament starting tomorrow and hoping to play well.
