Eurosafe Solutions Open
Zwolle, Netherlands
By Tommy Berden
Aisling Blake claimed the first edition of the Eurosafe Solutions Zwolle Open 2008 after a comprehensive win over third seeded Orla Noom.
The 26-year old from Dublin, who is based in Amsterdam to train under the guidance of Liz Irving, started off at a furious pace against the Dutch player, who only recently returned to competitive action after a four month injury lay-off.
The worlds number 33 dominated play from the word go and never let her 22-year old opponent, ranked two places lower on the world rankings, settle into the match. After losing the first game quickly, Noom managed to pressurize her opponent for parts of the second game, but still fell short at the finish line. The third game was straight forward as the number two seed from Ireland stepped up the pace to storm home to a 9-0, 9-6, 9-0 score line to clinch her second WISPA Tour title of her career.
