Massaro is the 2015 Qatar Classic Champion

England’s Women’s World No.3 Laura Massaro prevailed in her respective finals at the Khalifa Tennis and Squash Complex in Doha today to become the 2015 Qatar Classic, PSA World Series tournament, champions.


After triumphing at the first PSA World Series tournament of the season, the Delaware Investments U.S. Open, just two weeks ago in Philadelphia Massaro, the 32-year-old from Preston, continued to enjoy the form-of-her life as she came through a breath-taking five-game 73 minute battle with Egypt’s Nour El Sherbini.
With the pairing sharing the first four games between them to force a title-decider it was the 20-year-old World No.8 who raced into an early lead before a succession of lets and strokes halted her rhythm and allowed Massaro to find her way back into the match. Massaro hit a delightful volley drop at championship ball to wrap up an enthralling 11-8, 12-14, 11-9, 8-11, 11-9 victory - a win that sees her strengthen her lead at the top of the PSA Road to Dubai Standings and cut down the gap between herself and Worlds No.1 and 2 Raneem El Welily and Nicol David, respectively.
“There’s a lot of great names on that trophy so it’s a great feeling to know that my name will go along side them now,” said Massaro.
“It’s amazing to win another major trophy - I’m over the moon. Physically and mentally I feel in a really good place at the moment.
“I think that there was a little bit of a change in tactical plan in the end and then a bit of a momentum shift and it was enough to carry me over the line in that fifth game. There was only three or four points left at that point and I don’t think that there was enough time for her to adjust to that.”
Result - Women’s 2015 Qatar Classic: PSA World Series
[4] Laura Massaro (ENG) bt [6] Nour El Sherbini (EGY) 3-2: 11-8, 12-14, 11-9, 8-11, 11-9 (73m)
