Peter Marshall's long-awaited return to international competition after
a two-year lay-off with chronic fatigue syndrome, ended in
disappointment for the 25-year-old from Nottingham when he was beaten
15/12 15/8 15/9 in the first round of the Leekes British Open Squash
Championships by Brett Martin of Australia.
Martin, the world No8 who was the last British Open player - in 1995 -
beaten by Marshall, coolly worked the Englishman around the court in the
47-minute match until his understandably limited reserves were depleted.
"I'm simply not good enough yet," said the former world No2, who only
resumed training three months ago. "I was really looking forward to
playing again after so long away from the sport, but Brett had obviously
thought hard about how to play me today, and was determined to get his
revenge after two years. I am confident that I'm completely over my
illness now, and am looking forward to getting a lot more games under my
belt, and to the beginning of next season," said Marshall.
Scotland's Peter Nicol, the world No3 who in four years has never won a
match in the British Open, controversially overcame his jinx today. His
English opponent Paul Johnson, the 25-year-old world No21 who beat the
Scot in the first round last year, acknowledged the applause from the
crowd as he hit an apparent winner at match-ball at 14-12 in the third
game, and shook hands with a disconsolate Nicol.
The referee, however, called the ball down, and the players back onto
court. The Scot then took the game, and the following two, to claim an
extraordinary 7/15 15/17 15/14 15/7 15/6 victory in 98 minutes.
Canadian hotshot Jonathon Power, the Toronto-based 22-year-old who is
seeded in the British Open for the first time, began today in fine
style, defeating English qualifier Danny Meddings 15/10 15/5 15/2 in 34
minutes. Beaten in the last six months only by the world's top two
players Jansher Khan and Rodney Eyles, world No6 Power meets Frenchman
Julien Bonetat on Wednesday for a place in the quarter-finals.
