Razik Cruises To Coastal Contacts Crown

Canadian Shahier Razik collected his fourth PSA Tour title on home soil this year when he beat compatriot Matthew Giuffre in the final of the Coastal Contacts Jericho Open at Jericho Tennis Club in Vancouver.

After dropping his only game in the $20,000 PSA Tour squash event in the semi-finals against seventh seed David Phillips, Razik faced his fourth successive fellow Canadian in the final.

But Giuffre, the sixth seed, caused the biggest upset in the event in the other semi when he defeated England's No2 seed Daryl Selby in a 46-minute four-game battle.

Razik, the 29-year-old top seed from Toronto, was too strong for Giuffre, however - and despatched the 25-year-old from Edmonton 11-9, 11-7, 11-1 in 48 minutes to secure the 17th Tour title of his career.

The triumph extends Razik's lead as the Canadian with the most PSA titles on the Tour today - nine ahead of second-placed Graham Ryding.

Final:
