Black Knight Series
Fine Form for Filip
Filip Madaric decisively sealed victory over Christopher Votion in straight sets in Ettelbruck last month and now takes the lead in the Black Knight Series. He has certainly found his form and is also seeded at the top of the A Draw in the next Black Knight Series event, the Top Squash Open 2015.
We would like to congratulate all those who participated in the “Ettelbruck Squash Open 2015”in particular to the individual draw winners; Filip Madaric of Squash Club Sandweiler and both Fred Peugeot and Sam Lippert of Squash Club Pétange. Sam, having gained maximum points, has now leapt from 12th to 2nd place in the Series Standings.
Ettelbruck Open 2015 Winners!
To be a serious contender for the Series prizegiving a minimum of 5 Series appearances will be required as it is the total of a competitors best 5 performances that will count toward their final Black Knight Series Standing. Therefore, if you have only played a single tournament so far, you still have the opportunity to complete another four provided you have entered the Top Squash Open 2015 this weekend and play all three remaining Series Events that are still to come.
