After defeating Barbados’ Shawn Semple Monday night, Guyana’s Richard Chin will contest the final of the men’s Open singles competition of the National Lotteries Authority Caribbean Squash Championships currently ongoing in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
According to a press release, Chin served up an 11 – 2 11 – 4, 11 – 6 defeat to the competition’s number three seed in the second of Monday night’s semi-final match-ups.
Chin’s surgical drop shots, lobs and sublime placements had the Bajan covering a lot of court and bending over from exhaustion.
Having sliced his way to the top of the tournament, the competition’s defending champion, Chris Binnie, now remains the only obstacle standing between Chin and the tournament’s men’s singles title.
Despite his 19-year sabbatical from the Caribbean squash scene, the former US national player, Chin, entered the competition as the number two seeded player.
He has, in every way, delivered on expectations, as he continues to display precision squash not often seen in the Caribbean.
Chin was scheduled to face off against Binnie last night in the competition’s finals.
Meanwhile, in the men’s Open consolation quarter finals, Julian Chin was beaten by Bermuda’s Robbie Maycock 9-11, 11-6, 8-11, 8-11 following his victory over Maycock’s countryman Chris Stout with a 8 – 11 12 – 10, 11 – 3, 10 – 12, 11 – 2 win.
Alex Arjoon ended his participation in the tournament after he was eliminated by Jamaica’s Bruce Burrowes 9-11, 11-6, 8-11, 9-11.
