Radoslav Kamberov and Mollie Patterson were the major winners at the Gloucester Grand Prix over the weekend, winning Men’s and Women’s Singles respectively.

The fourth Grand Prix of the season saw more than 150 players competing, and there was a double victory in the women’s Bands for Aanchal Malhotra.

Men’s Singles

Fourth seed Radoslav Kamberov won the event with a 3-2 (14-12, 13-11, 4-11, 7-11, 14-12) victory over Louis Price, a scratch entry who had come through Group 1 in the absence of top seed Grigory Vlasov.

In the semi-finals, Kamberov held off a comeback by second seed Bogdan Postudor before getting over the line 3-2 (11-9, 11-9, 9-11, 10-12, 12-10). He also needed five in the quarter-finals, where he got past Ralph Pattison 3-2 (11-13, 11-8, 10-12, 11-9, 11-5).

Pattison himself had a terrific 3-2 (11-5, 12-14, 11-8, 9-11, 12-10) victory over Larry Trumpauskas in the last 16.

In the bottom half of the draw, Bristolian Price was a 3-1 (11-8, 11-5, 9-11, 11-7) winner over third seed Garry Dodd in the semi-finals.

Women’s Singles

Mollie Patterson won the Women’s Singles at the third time of asking at a Grand Prix thanks to a 3-1 (11-6, 11-3, 6-11, 11-6) victory over Tianer Yu in the final.

Patterson was top seed and looking to go one better than she had at both the London and Preston Grands Prix earlier in the season.

Her run included victories in three straight in both the quarter and semi-finals, the latter against Aanchal Malhotra (10, 7, 8), before beating third seed Yu.

Yu had beaten second seed Linda Zeng in the semi-finals – the scoreline 3-0 (11-7, 11-6, 11-2).

Restricted Singles

Umair Mauthoor came from 2-1 down to Gary Dodd in the final to prevail 3-2 (11-8, 6-11, 6-11, 11-1, 12-10).

The victor had earlier taken five to get past Emmanuel Asante 3-2 (10-12, 11-9, 9-11, 11-7, 11-4) in the semi-finals.

Dodd recovered from losing a protracted first game in his semi-final to defeat Bryan Kwan 3-1 (16-18, 11-9, 11-6, 11-3).

Under-21 Men’s Singles

Joseph Hunter beat Ching Jay Law 3-0 (11-5, 11-7, 11-9) to win the under-21 final. It was also three games in the semi-finals, where he beat Larry Trumpauskas 11-9, 12-10, 11-5 – but he needed five in the quarter-finals against Howard Onweng before getting through 3-2 (11-7, 11-7, 6-11, 4-11, 11-4).

Law was 2-0 down in his semi-final against Djen Kakx before recovering to win 3-2 (7-11, 6-11, 11-7, 11-8, 12-10).

Under-21 Women’s Singles

Top-ranked Mollie Patterson withdrew from the competition, leaving a round-robin group of five, which was won by Tianer Yu.

Yu won all four of her matches, including against her nearest competitor Lowri Hurd by a 3-0 (9, 7, 6) margin. Hurd was second, largely thanks to a 3-2 win over Millie Rogove.

Veterans’ Singles

Ferxey Ayala of Colombia won the final, but it was a drawn-out affair against Zayd Mauthoor before he finally came through 3-2 (16-14, 11-7, 12-14, 5-11, 12-10).

Both semi-finals also went the distance – Mauthoor defeated David Ashwell with a fine comeback, taking it 3-2 (6-11, 6-11, 11-9, 11-7, 11-7), while Ayala overcame Sujay Jagannathan 3-2 (11-6, 11-8, 9-11, 5-11, 11-9).

Men’s Band 1

Larry Trumpauskas defeated Nahom Asgedom 3-0 (11-8, 11-7, 11-7) in the final, but that did not tell anywhere near the story of his path to the title.

In each of the previous three knockout matches, Trumpauskas needed a deciding game, starting in the last 16, where he defeated Richard Carden 3-2 (6-11, 11-3,14-12, 12-14, 11-7).

In the quarter-finals, he was up against Fusion team-mate Josh Bruce, and he came from behind to win that one 3-2 (10-12, 11-8, 9-11, 11-6, 11-8). His run of five-setters continued in the semi-finals, where his victim was Joseph Hunter and the margin was 3-2 (11-7, 6-11, 9-11, 11-9, 11-7).

Asgedom by contrast had a smoother run, culminating in his 3-0 (11-6, 11-9, 16-14) win over James Hamblett in the semi-finals.

Women’s Band 1

Tsz Yan Nancy Yeh won the Band thanks to a 3-1 (11-9, 9-11, 11-7, 11-9) victory in the final over Ewelina Sychta.

Sychta had dug deep in the semi-finals to come from 2-0 down against Mille Rogove before triumphing 3-2 (5-11, 10-12, 11-5, 12-10, 11-9).

Yeh needed four games to get past Lowri Hurd 3-1 (11-7, 13-11, 3-11, 12-10).

Men’s Band 2

James Hamblett won a tight four-game match against Vadzim Antonau to win the top award – it was 15-13, 8-11, 12-10, 11-7 in favour of the teenager.

Antonau had needed a decider in the semi-finals, beating Djen Bakx 3-2 (11-4, 11-4, 7-11, 10-12, 14-12), and in the quarters, where he got past Tianyi Yu 3-2 (11-9, 9-11, 13-11, 1-11, 11-3).

Hamblett got into the final with a 3-0 (11-9, 13-11, 11-7) victory over Wales’ Harri Doherty.

Women’s Band 2

The round-robin competition was won by Lok Sze Sum after a three-way countback with Ewelina Sychta and Lowri Hurd.

Hurd defeated Sychta 3-2 (6-11, 11-8, 11-9, 8-11, 11-9), while it was also 3-2 as Sychta defeated Sum (11-3, 4-11, 11-5, 6-11, 11-5).

The key result was Sum defeating Hurd 3-1 (11-6, 9-11, 11-6, 11-8), which was enough to give her the verdict.

Men’s Band 3

Emmanuel Asante won 3-1 (11-8, 11-8, 2-11, 11-9) against Munib Ahmad to win the Band.

His earlier rounds were less straightforward – the in quarter-finals, he beat Daniel Oluwamayowa 3-2 (7-11, 11-8, 9-11, 11-6, 11-0) and in the last four, he overcame Lewis Waddup 3-2 (14-12, 6-11, 11-3, 8-11, 11-9).

Ahmad beat Jack Trafford 3-0 (12-10, 11-3, 11-7) in the semi-finals. Back in the last 16, he had needed five to defeat Samuel Cooper 3-2 (11-5, 7-11, 9-11, 11-5, 11-9).

Women’s Band 3

Aanchal Malhotra beat Bhanureka Sabaratnam in the final by a 3-0 (11-5, 11-6, 11-6) scoreline.

The winner had a walkover in her semi-final, while Sabaratnam beat Anna Piercey 3-1 (11-6, 11-9, 8-11, 11-5).

Men’s Band 4

Lewis Waddup clawed back from 2-1 down to defeat Ferxey Ayala 3-2 (11-4, 7-11, 10-12, 11-3, 11-8) and take the winner’s cheque.

The beaten semi-finalists were Matt Emery – beaten 3-1 (11-3, 11-5, 6-11, 11-7) by Ayala – and Joe Britnell – defeated 3-0 (11-5, 11-4, 11-9) by Waddup.

Women’s Band 4

Aanchal Malhotra had a double victory as she beat Bhanureka Sabaratnam again in the final, this time by a 3-0 (11-7, 11-3, 11-4) margin.

She was also in good form in the semi-finals, where she overcame Evie Knaapen 11-4, 11-4, 11-3. Sabaratnam needed four against Rita Lopes (11-6, 7-11, 11-5, 11-6), who in turn had beaten Clare Styles 3-2 (7-11, 11-8, 5-11, 11-9, 11-6) in the quarters.

Men’s Band 5

Lucien Boulet was the Band winner thanks to a 3-0 (11-9, 11-4, 11-4) final victory over Marcus Ka Lam Lai.

It was three games in the semi-finals as well as Boulet knocked out Alex henry 11-9, 11-3, 11-1. In the bottom half, Lai was a 3-1 (11-9, 9-11, 11-7, 11-3) victory over Clement Cheng.

Both semi-finals were decided in four – Bodnar beat Richard Comley 3-1 (11-6, 11-6, 7-11, 11-5) and Fletcher was a 3-1 (11-5, 13-11, 6-11, 11-8) winner against Jiten Pitamber.
