Lee and Cuskelly reach the Canada Cup Final

Max tops Al Tamimi to secure a place in the Workforce Canada Cup Final (3-1: 11-9,11-7,9-11,11-7 - 64 mins)
Al Tamimi was the first to strike in the opening semi-final match of the day finding the nick early. Lee needed 7 points to find the pace and start to get a feel for Abdo’s shot selection. Max turns around Abdo strong start and the players find themselves jockeying for control of this match. Max takes the first and carries the momentum into the second. 

Lee’s experience on tour becoming apparent as Al Tamimi engages in some color commentary with the ref. Max’s composure gets him the second game and a strong start to the third. Abdo isn’t ready to let this match go just yet, he re-focuses plays a tight ball and does well to not put himself in vulnerable situations. Abdo takes game 3, but Max’s consistency and toughness seals his birth into Thursday’s final. 

Cuskelly Wins the Aussie vs Kiwi Semi-Final Battle in Convincing Fashion (3-0: 11-3, 11-5, 11-7 - 52 minutes)
Clear from the beginning that Cuskelly has his eye on the Workforce Canada Cup title and came to play. On the ball early, applying pressure, keeping the ball beyond tight left Grayson impatiently waiting for his opportunity to get into the match. 
The opportunities were few and far between with the Aussie’s precise play early. Campbel works hard to claw back his deficit early in the second and manages to force a couple errors out of Cuskelly after grueling 40+ shot rallies. Campbel gets a conduct warning after a no let decision to which he strongly disagreed and grew frustrated. Ryan capitalizes and finishes off the 2nd game. 
Grayson comes into the 3rd like a new man, dictating play getting a couple stroke calls, which seems to boost his morale and get him off to a quick 6-1 start. The anticipated answer from Cuskelly comes right on time and increased pressure forces errors out of Campbel and the score is now even at 7-7 with momentum in Ryan’s favour. 
Ryan snipes a straight volley nick to the applause of the crowd and secures the 3-0 result.
