Rex Hedrick and are the Australian Open Men’s and Women’s champions for 2018.

The duo took out the respective titles following two high-quality Open finals at the Mulgrave Country Club on Sunday afternoon (AEST).

The 3-0 score line didn’t accurately reflect the evenness of the Men’s Open final, which was won in 61 minutes by top seed and local Melbourne favourite Hedrick against tournament third seed, Dimitri Steinmann.

It was a case of third time lucky for the 29-year-old, as he finally secured a major tournament win in his home state following runner-up results at Mulgrave in the 2016 and 2017 Victorian Opens.

As is often the case with a match involving Rex Hedrick, long, grinding rallies were the order of the day, with both players engaging in a tight tussle from the outset. It was Hedrick who settled first in the match however to take the first game, before Switzerland’s Steinmann found his groove in the second with some terrific strokes.

In fact, Steinmann looked set to claim the second game at 8-10, before Hedrick dug deep to win the next four points and subsequently the all-important game.

While Steinmann continued to fight on in the third, the missed opportunity in the second proved to be a huge body blow, with Hedrick going from strength-to-strength to close out the match in three - 11-4, 12-10, 11-5. ASP squashmedia .com.au

The event offered two professional events: PSA M5 and W5.

The Squash Melbourne Open replaced the old Moorabbin Open but was still played at Moorabbin, the largest centre in Melbourne with 11 Courts.

Only one Aussie reached a final. That was Christine Nunn in the PSA W5 event.

The best of the men was rising star Nick Calvert who reached the semi finals with an upset win against #3 seed and older brother Tom Calvert 11-9, 10-12, 8-11, 11-9, 12-10 (78m).

There wasn’t much left in the tank for Nick after his 78 minute clash but he gave it his best against #1 seed Evan Williams (NZL) in the semi final losing in straight 9-11, 0-11, 3-11 (26m).

So all eyes and all hopes were with our #1 seed Christine Nunn. Poster girl Nunn was facing a regular visitor to Australia in the form of #2 seed from Hong Kong.

Nunn got off to a flying start winning the first before losing her way in the next two. She fought hard to win the 4th and level the scores but the effort told and Nunn lost the 5th 5-11. It was a fitting final but unfortunately, in the end it just wasn’t Nunn’s day losing 11-8, 9-11, 7- 11, 11-9, 5-11 (49m).

Chu was very fortunate to reach the final after recovering from 0-2 down (and 10 all in the 3rd) to run over the top of Sarah Cardwell (AUS) 6-11, 6-11, 12-10, 11-5, 11-7 (50m).

His first major challenge was against Switzerland’s Dimitri Steinmann, the Bega Open defending champion, who he beat in the Australian Open final. This match promised to be a battle between the two in form players but Hedrick demolished Steinmann in three to set up a battle with arch rival Josh Larkin.

The final was an awesome 72 minute clash between the top 2 seeds. Hedrick got off to a great start but Larkin levelled the match at 1-1. Hedrick hit top gear in the 3rd winning that 11-4 before closing the match out in four 11-8. In the best form of his career Hedrick landed two M10 titles in 8 days!
