Adrian Grant became the first Londoner to win the Coronation London Open title when he beat Chris Simpson in the all-English final of the PSA World Tour International 25 squash event in its sixth year at Cumberland Lawn Tennis Club in the England capital.

The London-born-and-bred 33-year-old, who was making his debut in the event, made his breakthrough in the previous round where he upset second-seeded South African Stephen Coppinger.

Seeded three, World No.23 Grant faced fellow countryman Simpson - a 26-year-old from Guernsey, ranked just two places lower, to whom he had never lost in three Tour meetings since 2009.

But fourth seed Simpson took the opening game, determined to make a career breakthrough.

However, the experienced left-hander Grant, a former World No.9 and a Commonwealth Games gold medallist, turned the tables to take the next three games to win 7-11, 11-9, 11-4, 11-6 in 60 minutes.
