Our personal congratulations to:1. Nick Matthew - Nick beat James Wilstrop in an amazing 5 set match to become the 2009 British Open Champion. After an extended time out injured, there can no be no doubt that Nick is back to his best winning the epic final 8-11, 11-8, 7-11, 11-3, 12-10 in 2hours and 3 minutes.
2. Madeline Perry - The Irish number 1 and world number 8 who managed to improve on her Semi-Final place last year, reaching the British Open Final, she beat world No. 1 Nicol David en route to the Final. Well done Maddy!
Also using Ashaway strings at the event were:
Alison Waters - Semi Finalist
Daryl Selby - Quarter Finalist
David Palmer - Quarter Finalist
Ong Beng Hee - 2nd Round
+ Many people in the Masters Event!
STOP PRESS: Both Nick and Madeline use Ashaway Powernick 18. We've had a few enquiries as to the colour of the string used by some of the professionals. The answer is that some players including Nick and Maddy, due to contractual reasons have to use a 'white' string in their rackets, therefore Nick and Maddy both use Powernick 18 in Silver as opposed to the normal red colour in order to meet their contract. It is the same product, just a different colour!
