Hafiz calims Barcelona Triple

Egyptian Mohamed Essam A Hafiz, winner in Chartres and Chennai, collected his third successive PSA tour title with  victory over France's Stephane Galifi in Barcelona.

It was a keenly contested match, reports Dani Ramirez from Barcelona, with both players well-matched and playing great squash.

Hafiz took the first game on a long tie-break (6-4), but after about half an hour of play Galifi appeared to tire, and the Egyptian was able to take advantage of this as he ran out a straight games winner, a result which does not reflect the quality or evenness of the play.
