Garry Dodd won his third Capelles Open
title in five years with a straight sets win over Paul Hainsworth in last
night's final at the Hougue du Pommier
Centre.
Hainsworth upset the odds to beat the
left-hander in the pre-Christmas CI Top 12 qualifier, but on this occasion Dodd
was not in the mood for making mistakes and romped home 11-7, 11-8,
11-7.
Dodd's biggest challenge had come in the
semi-finals where he was pitted against five-times Capelles champion, Phil
Ogier, who took the opening set 11-5 and had chances in the
second.
But once Dodd (pictured) had edged that
one 12-10, he eased through the next 11-4 and sneaked the fourth 12-10 to grab
a place in the final, ending Ogier's hopes of a third tournament win out of
four this campaign.
