SHEFFIELD’S Nick Matthew clinched a fifth Swedish Open title after dominating his final against France’s Gregory Gaultier to win 3-0.

Retaining his title was the ideal way for Matthew to warm up for the British National Championships which get underway in Manchester tomorrow.

Matthew had been kept on court for more than an hour in his semi-final against Germany’s Simon Rosner – twice as long as Gaultier was against Stephen Coppinger, who had beaten Pontefract’s James Willstrop in Friday’s quarter-finals.
