Palmer denies Willstrop in final

Willstrop was unhappy with the way he started the final

Defending champion James Willstrop was beaten by Australian David Palmer in the final of the Canary Wharf Classic.

The Englishman lost the first two games before fighting back to win the third and take a 4-1 lead in the fourth.

However, Palmer came back to take the game and seal a 11-9 12-10 8-11 11-7 victory after 65 minutes in London.

"I didn't play strong enough in the crucial parts in the first two games and at the end of the second, well, that was pretty awful," said Willstrop.
