Scottish International Open: Stewart Anderson beats world champion Jamie Walker to retain Scottish International Open title

Stewart Anderson defended his WBT Scottish International Open title by defeating world champion Jamie Walker in straight sets in Livingston.

The Scot swept to a comfortable 12-6 6-3 win to earn his third title from this competition.

Anderson earlier beat compatriot Darren Burnett 7-6 9-7 to reach the final, while Walker came from behind to beat Jason Banks 7-8 6-3 2-0.

"I knew I had to be at my very best to compete with him," Anderson said.

"I'd like to thank the crowd, club, everyone for attending, thank you. I didn't even know if I'd be here because I lost my grandad on Tuesday."

Anderson had to battle hard to gain the ascendency in a tight first set, but once he pulled clear, Walker was unable to replicate his semi-final turnaround.
