Men’s & Women’s Finalists Decided

It was an afternoon of contrasting matches on Day Five of the #GC2018Squash Doubles, with three quick wins and one marathon.
The day opened with an all-English men’s clash, and it was Daryl Selby & Adrian Waller who prevailed over compatriots James Willstrop & Declan James as they came from 7-9 down to take the first game, then in the decider saved two match balls before finally taking the win on a ‘no let’ to the opposition in sudden-death after 87 minutes.
David Palmer and Zac Alexander delighted the packed Aussie crowd as they edged a close first game against second seeded Scots Alan Clyne & Greg Lobban, then played brilliantly from 0-3 down in the second, claiming their place in the final in just over 30 minutes.
The women’s semis followed similar patterns as the higher-seeded pairs took close first games then powered through the second. Defending champions Joshna Chinappa & Dipika Pallikal Karthik showed all their skills against England’s MNassaro & Perry, while World Champion Kiwis Joelle King & Amanda Landers-Murphy continue to put their early loss behind them as they beat Aussie rivals Grinham & Urquhart.
