Brave Palmer wins world squash title

2006 — David Palmer can count himself the bravest and Gregory Gaultier the unluckiest player there has ever been in a World Open final after the Australian beat the Frenchman 9-11, 9-11, 11-9, 11-10, 11-2 in front of the Giza pyramids. The up-and-down nature of this startling contest hardly paled into significance within the ambience, and people will debate for a long time how Gaultier allowed five match points get away.
