Meguid Makes His Mark In Saint Petersburg

2 Dec 2009

Egypt's Omar Abdel Meguid became the surprise winner of the inaugural Saint Petersburg Open after upsetting top seed Andrew McDougall in the final of the $3,000 PSA Tour squash event at Tauras Fitness Sports Club in Saint Petersburg in Russia.

The 21-year-old second seed from Giza reached the final without dropping a game - and maintained his 'clean sheet' in the event with a 12-10, 11-6, 11-4 victory over the Canadian favourite in 42 minutes.

The win extends his portfolio of PSA Tour titles to two - and extends his unbeaten record in Tour finals.

Final:
[2] Omar Abdel Meguid (EGY) bt [1] Andrew McDougall (CAN) 12-10, 11-6, 11-4 (42m)
