Monto, the 24-year-old world No65 from Hyvinkaa, dismissed Australia's 2nd seed Anthony Hill, the Amsterdam-based former world No5, 15-9 15-4 12-15 15-10, and goes on to meet 6th seed Lee Beachill - who triumphed 15-7 15-10 15-9 in an all-English clash with Tim Garner. Demonstrating the same fighting qualities which led him to the Apawamis Open title in New York last week - again as a qualifier - Tuominen overturned a two-game deficit to beat Egypt's 3rd seed Omar Elborolossy 12-15, 10-15, 15-13, 15-14, 15-8. The 21-year-old world No37 from Helsinki now faces eighth-seeded South African Rodney Durbach, who was also taken to five games before defeating Belgian Stefan Casteleyn 16-17, 17-15, 15-12, 12-15, 15-7. England's world doubles champions Chris Walker and Mark Cairns faced each other in the first round of a PSA Tour event for the second time in six days - and again underdog Walker triumphed. The 33-year-old former England captain from Colchester in Essex, a former world No4 now ranked 40, beat his seventh-seeded partner 15-12, 15-10, 15-10 and progresses to the quarter-finals where he meets top seed Del Harris, also from Colchester. - ENDS - Issued on behalf of: PSA For further information: Howard Harding Tel: (44) 1737-243333 or (mobile) (44) 7773-325130 Fax: (44) 1737-222787 WSQ 1010 Email: HowHard@aol.com 19 January 2000
