Hopkin
Lifts Zenit Open Title
Australian World No.109 Matthew Hopkin captured his fourth PSA World
Tour title after overcoming sixth seed Martin Svec in the final of
the Zenit Black Sea Open, PSA M5 tournament held at the Sport Life
Fitness Club in Odessa, Ukraine.
Hopkin started his tournament with a walkover against Spaniard Aitor
Zunzunegui, before putting Finland’s Jami Aijanen and England’s
Patrick Rooney to the sword to seal a place in his second PSA World
Tour final of 2016.
Svec, meanwhile, dispatched Navid Maleksabet in round one and the
man from the Czech Republic followed that up with a
tightly-contested 3-2 victory over Egypt’s Hesham Mohamed Aly and
then a win over Italy’s Stephane Galifi in straight games.
The opening stages of the duo’s final clash saw Hopkin dictate the
tempo of the match as he quickly rose to a two-game lead.
A resilient Svec dug in though in the third game to force Hopkin
into a tie-break, but the Brisbane-born 25-year-old held firm to
wrap up an 11-6, 11-8, 14-12 victory to claim his first PSA World
Tour crown since January’s Suez Helsinki Winter Challenger.

Qualifying Draws
To A Close In Zenit Open
#PSAWorldTour
The final qualifying round of the Zenit Black Sea Open, PSA M5
tournament saw top qualifying seed Belal Nawar reach his second PSA
World Tour main draw of 2016 with a hard fought victory over
Ukraine’s Konstiantyn Rybalchenko.
Nawar opened up his qualifying campaign with a straight games win
against Konstantin Reshetnyak and maintained his winning form
against Rybalchenko, coming back from 2-1 down to win in five.
Nawar’s reward is a main draw clash with fellow Egyptian Basem
Makram in the opening round as the former bids to reach the
quarter-final stage of a PSA World Tour event for only the second
time in his career.
Elsewhere, Iran’s Navid Maleksabet is also through to the main draw
after sweeping past Konstantin Kostrykin and he will contest his
first round fixture with Martin Svec of the Czech Republic.
Maleksabet’s compatriot, Seyed Mohammad Reza Ziyaekashan, and
Italy’s Stephane Galifi are the other players to emerge unscathed
from the final round of qualifying.
Ziyaekashan rose to a 3-0 win against Ahmed Al Kiremli, while Galifi
dropped a solitary game in his triumph against Marc ter Sluis. They
will face Finland’s Matias Tuomi and Ahmed Hussein, respectively, in
the opening round of the main draw.
