Men & Women $15k PSA Challengers, 21-15 April, St Louis, USA
Ainaa Amani and Finnlay Withington came out on top of the RC Pro Series 2026 presented by Thompson Street Capital, beating Jana Safy and Henry Leung respectively on finals day in St Louis.
Withington was unseeded in the men’s draw, but arrived in good form having reached two finals – winning one – in his previous three events.
He proceeded to knock out Eddie Charlton and Dewald van Niekerk in straight games, before edging a back-and-forth five-gamer against Nick Spizzirri in the last eight.
Another 3-0 win – over Sam Buckley – set him up for a trophy showdown with second seed Henry Leung, and despite dropping game one, he was soon celebrating victory, winning 3-1 in 50 minutes.
That result followed victory for women’s No.4 seed Amani in the women’s event.
The Malaysian had knocked out top seed Nadine Shahin in the semi-finals and was coming up against another Egyptian in the final, in the form of Safy.
The pair would go toe-to-toe into a deciding game, but it was Amani who ultimately came out, closing it out 11-3 to win a fourth Tour title.
