PALMER EDGES PAST WALKER

David Palmer (Australia) beat Alister Walker 11-6, 3-11, 11-6, 11-9 (61 mins)

In the quarter-finals top seed Nick Matthew meets Australian veteran David Palmer. The former world champion showed that he can still play phenomenal squash at 34 as he overpowered England’s Alister Walker in four games, 11-6, 3-11, 11-6, 11-9.

Palmer admitted: “I relaxed a bit at 8-2 up in the fourth and Alister showed what a dangerous player he is. It was very hard and I lost the plot a bit in the second game but I’m happy to be playing well and pleased to be in the quarter-finals.

"I felt very alone out there as it seemed the crowd and the officials were against me, so I hope a few get on my side against Nick."
