Palmer & Lincou Advance to Sunday PST Championship from Tour Media May 3, 2014 - PST's reigning champion David Palmer will face his long time nemesis Thierry Lincou in Sunday afternoon's championship match. The match will be
broadcast live on ProSquashTV.com from the Detroit Athletic Club. This
is PST's third year hosting its season finale at the DAC. "We love the club, the
members and the setting," says PST's Joe McManus. "And Sunday's final
will be the greatest we've had to date. It's a dream final." "It's impossible to
tell how many more times these two will meet in a tournament
championship. Sunday's match could be an historic moment." Palmer started slowly
in his semi-final with Northern Ireland's John Roberts, who impressed
the champion with impressive shot making. Roberts jumped to a lightning
fast 5-1 lead on the strength of some impressive shooting. Palmer, however, was
quickly able to right the ship and win 10 of the next 11 points and
take game one 11-6. Game two was all Palmer as he cruised to a 11-1
victory. Roberts didn't fade though and the young Irishman lost a close 11-9 final game. Thierry Lincou also
won in three games, but his path was much more intense. His opponent
Robbie Temple was worthy advisary as he battled France's legend every
step. Game one went to extra points, and Temple had the first game ball
at 10-9. Lincou eventually prevailed 14-12. Games two and three
featured both players criss crossing the court with extended rallies
that delighted the gallery. Lincou prevailed in both winning 11-9 and
11-8. Tomorrow's championship match will start at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and will be broadcast live on ProSquashTV.com. . Semi Finals Results
