Nielsen & Manetta Win Welsh Open Titles
Hopes of a British double were dashed in the Welsh Open in Cardiff when Dane Rasmus Nielsen and Italian Manuela Manetta claimed the men’s and women’s Tour squash titles, respectively, at the Welsh Institute of Sport.
England’s unseeded Victoria Lust made a major breakthrough in the women’s event after dismissing France’s second seed Camille Serme in the opening round.
The 19-year-old from Bedfordshire overcame two further seeds before meeting favourite Manuela Manetta in the final.
But the Italian had to fight back from 2/1 down to beat Lust 11-8, 9-11, 7-11, 11-5, 11-9 to claim the third WISPA World Tour title of her career.
