BRETT Martin emerged at last from his brother Rodney's shadow for his first World Super Series title with a comprehensive four-game victory in the final of the Hong Kong Open yesterday. Third-seeded Brett, who as the world number four is ranked one place below Rodney, overcame a first-game deficit to win 12-15, 15-12, 15-4, 15-6 on the transparent acrylic court at the Hong Kong Park Indoor Games Hall. ''I've won a couple of smaller tournaments like Bermuda and New South Wales but never one of this scale,'' said Brett, adding: ''I'm 30 and getting better all the time and I hope to have a couple more major wins coming up. ''My body still feels good. I've never had any serious injuries throughout my career and I hope to continue playing for another couple of years.'' The Australian brothers were engaged in long rallies in the opening game but defending champion Rodney, 27, was always at least a point in front and won it 15-12 with Brett hitting the tin on the first game point. Brett put his younger brother under immense pressure in the subsequent games by varying the length of his shots and using the full width of the court. Rodney put up a brave fight in the second game, but could not prevent Brett claiming it 15-12. Brett then took full control, dominating the front of the court and over the next two games the challenge of his brother fizzled out. ''Brett played too well and kept me off balance right through. I thought I had a good chance even when I was 2-1 down but he never really let me get into it,'' said Rodney, a two-time winner of the Cathay Pacific/Unisys-sponsored event. ''I also didn't feel fresh at all and found it hard to keep the ball at the back of the court after the first game.'' Rodney had to dig deep into his reserves in the semi-finals to stop pre-tournament favourite Jansher Khan, the top seed and five-time Hong Kong Open champion. The Pakistani world number two had put Rodney through almost an hour of intensive squash even though he was eventually beaten by the Australian in straight games. Brett, on the other hand, had a more straightforward 3-0 semi-final win over England's Simon Parke. Fellow-Australian and world number one Chris Dittmar was in Brett's half of the draw but pulled out with a knee injury. Brett, who beat Rodney in the New South Wales Open seven weeks ago, admitted he did not have any game plan going into the Hong Kong final - the second time the brothers had faced each other for a Professional Squash Association-sanctioned title. ''I don't go out with any real plan when I walk out on court. It is hard to have a game plan against anyone,'' said Brett. ''I've been playing alright for quite a while but I wasn't playing too well at the start of the week. It only got better over the last two days and I hope I can keep it going.'' Meanwhile, the operation to dismantle the transparent Perspex court, donated by the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club, started immediately after the final. The $1 million court, made up of 99 pieces of heavy-duty acrylic and weighing more than five tonnes, will be packed and transported to a warehouse in Sha Tin for storage.
