Koukal Celebrates Six At Squashcentrum Strahov

It took Jan Koukal almost an hour to make it, but the Czech number one celebrated his sixth successive PSA Tour title in his home town after beating Australia's Scott Arnold in the final of the Hi-Tec & Dunlop Prague Open in the Czech Republic capital of Prague.

The 22-year-old top seed lost the opening game and was taken to a tie-break in the second - but Koukal battled hard at the Squashcentrum Strahov to overpower Arnold, the 20-year-old No4 seed from Sydney, to win 3-11, 11-10 (2-0), 11-3, 6-11, 11-6 in 55 minutes.

The remarkable achievement marks Koukal's 28th win in a row over PSA opponents in Prague since first competing in the Czech Open in February 2004. The title also extends his unbeaten record in all PSA events this year to 16 matches.

Final:
[1] Jan Koukal (CZE) bt [4] Scott Arnold (AUS) 3-11, 11-10 (2-0), 11-3, 6-11, 11-6 (55m)
