For the second time in 24 hours, Australian Mike Corren was forced to battle back from two games down to overcome a compatriot in the Auckland Open Squash Championship at the North Shore Squash Club in Auckland, New Zealand.

 

Now through to the final of the PSA Tour event for the second year in a row, third seed Corren upset second-seeded fellow Aussie Steve Finitsis 3-11, 11-9, 4-11, 11-10 (3-1), 11-7 in today’s (Saturday) gruelling 73-minute semi-final encounter.
