The French started with a neck-to-neck fight in the first set for 59 minutes which went on to become the longest sets every played in the history of modern squash. Gaultier won the set 21-19 with his high level game and fast moves, along with help of massive support from the crowd.<\/p>\n

However, previous year’s runner-up Willstrop proved to be mentally stronger than his opponent and came back fighting in the second set. He continued his natural game with a cool mind and waited his opponent to make errors.<\/p>\n

Gaultier, on the other hand, played his best game in the tournament and gave a tough fight to Willstrop. In the second set, Gaultier started suffering from cramps in both the legs but he continued his fight. Nevertheless, due to his unforced errors, he lost the set 8-11.<\/p>\n

In the third set, Gaultier’s injury got worse and he took three-minute recovery time. He came back with some pace but that was not enough to win the set. Eventually, he lost the game 4-11.<\/p>\n

In the fourth set, the courageous French pulled out from the match as his injury detoriated<\/p>\n

England’s James Willstrop won the $ 1,65,000 (Rs 86,66,625) Punj Lloyd PSA Masters 2011 title and bagged $ 24,938 (Rs 13,09,869) prize money. Runner-up Gregory Gaultier received $ 16,388 (Rs 8,60,780).<\/p>\n
