Ford Takes Turin Title

England's Ben Ford scored the second PSA Tour title of his career when he upset fellow countryman Jonathan Harford in the final of the Turin Open at the Squash Point Fitness Club in the Italian city of Turin.

The 32-year-old No7 seed from Kent made his breakthrough in the quarter-finals when he fought back from two games down to beat second-seeded Italian Luca Mastrostefano.

After despatching Austrian Aqeel Rehman, the fourth seed, in the semi-finals, Ford faced favourite Harford in the final.

With more than 40 world ranking positions separating the pair, it was the higher-ranked Harford, from Leeds in Yorkshire, that took the opening two games.

But Ford fought back, winning the third for the loss of just a single point before going on to clinch the match 8-11, 9-11, 11-1, 11-10 (2-0), 11-2 in 58 minutes.

Final:
[7] Ben Ford (ENG) bt [1] Jonathan Harford (ENG) 8-11, 9-11, 11-1, 11-10 (2-0), 11-2 (58m)
