DUBAI: World champion Gregory Gaultier beat Australia’s surprise finalist Cameron Pilley to regain the men’s title at the PSA World Series Finals after a seven-year interval.

The Frenchman’s 11-4, 11-5, 8-11, 11-6 win over the Australian on Saturday was proof that his six-month “nightmare” was over following a serious ankle injury.
