Koukal Clinches Winnipeg Classic

15 Oct 2007

Czech number one Jan Koukal progressed through the Bieber Securities Fall Classic to justify his top seeding by winning the PSA Tour Super Satellite event at the Winnipeg Squash Club in Winnipeg, Canada.

The 24-year-old from Prague dropped only one game en-route to the final - where he faced local player Robin Clarke, the No3 seed from Ottawa who upset Australia's second seed Ryan Cuskelly in the semi-finals.

Koukal recovered from a game down to beat Clarke 7-11, 11-6, 11-5, 11-7 to win the seventh PSA Tour title of his career - but the first away from his Czech Republic homeland!

Final:
[1] Jan Koukal (CZE) bt [3] Robin Clarke (CAN) 7-11, 11-6, 11-5, 11-7
