Australian Isabella Nichols wins Bells Beach Pro
Resurgent Australian Isabella Nichols has claimed the biggest victory of her surfing career by downing young Brazilian star Luana Silva in the women's final at Bells Beach. Nichols threw down the gauntlet with a big early score of 8.33 points and backed it up to win 16.26 points to 12.67. The 27-year-old only made her way back onto the elite Champions Tour (CT) this year. Loading Twitter content She advanced all the way to the final of this month's El Salvador Pro, then went one better on Sunday at the famous Victorian break. "The process for this win has honestly been a 15-year process," Nichols said. "I've been coming here since I was 15 years old. "All the trips down here, three times a year, to come down and work on my technique, and it's all paid off. "To have a bell, honestly, this does not feel real. "I'm speechless." Nichols's only other victory on the CT came three years ago at the Margaret River Pro. Loading Twitter content The Hawaiian-born Silva, 20, won the world junior title this year, the same event that Nichols saluted in back in 2016. Earlier on Sunday, Nichols took down her celebrated countrywoman and two-time world champ Tyler Wright in the semis. The men's final later on Sunday will pit Australia's Paris Olympics silver medallist Jack Robinson against Japan's Kanoa Igarashi. The 27-year-old Robinson left it late before sneaking past American Griffin Colapinto in the second semi. Robinson's final 7.17-point wave saw him edge ahead 14.67-14.33. The Aussie started his day with a 15.94-14.57 victory over American Jake Marshall in the last quarter-final. After a thrilling run through the event, Australian wildcard Morgan Cibilic had no luck in a low-scoring semi-final loss to Igarashi, where decent-sized waves were at a premium. Cibilic only caught his second wave of the heat in the final minute and fell, gifting victory to Igarashi, 10.27 points to 5.37. "It is what is at the end of the day — you can't argue with the ocean," said a philosophical Cibilic. "But it is pretty brutal." AAP ABC Sport Daily is your daily sports conversation.
