Delierre spoils a top seed white wash

It was Shawn Delierre's night at the Bay Club in the Mayacamas Ranch Quarterfinals. Delierre, the french-Canadian, was the only player to over throw a higher seeded opponent in an other wise night or relatively one-sided matches.
In ring with him was fellow Canadian Shahier Razik. It may have been the local rivalry that produced a high contact match that could have been settled by 2 submissions and a knock-out had it been another sport. Delierre was in no mood to let it slip. After winning a close first that went to the tie-break, Razik came back strong to win the 2nd before Dellierre stamped his authority on the 4th game winning that comfortably. Razik was not to be out done and proceeded to give Delierre the same treatment in the 4th winning that in a similar fashion. So it went to the fifth and final round where Razik eventually succumb to the fierce Delierre attack. The final score being a Delierre win 12/10, 8/11, 11/3, 3/11, 11/9.
The other 3 matches proved tame by comparison and all the higher seeds came through unscathed.
The number 2 seed, Adrian Grant put his 5 set battle from yesterday behind him and closed out his match against Miguel Rodriguez 11/9, 11/7, 11/5.
The No.3 seed, Azlan Iskander, set up a semi-final clash with Grant after dispensing with Englishman, Chris Simpson, 11/9, 11/3, 11/4.
And the wirey Scot John White, our No.1 seed, closed out David Philips of Canada in a fine display of quality Squash winning 11/4, 11/6, 11/8.
So the semi-finals are heating up to be 2 great matches:
John White v Shawn Delierre
Adrian Grant v Aslan Iskander

We'll see you there!
