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 Squash Open at Jericho Tennis Club in
Vancouver.
After
dropping his only game in the $20,000 PSA Tour 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.
Phillips & Giuffre Cause Coastal Contacts Upsets
Canadians David Phillips and
Matthew Giuffre
created notable upsets in the
Coastal Contacts Jericho Squash Open
to claim unexpected places in the semi-finals of the $20,000 PSA Tour
event at Jericho Tennis Club in
Vancouver.
Seventh seed Phillips removed Ireland's No3 seed Liam Kenny 11-10
(4-2), 11-9, 11-2 while
Giuffre, the sixth seed, defeated fourth-seeded Brazilian Rafael F
Alarcon 11-9, 11-4, 11-10 (3-1).
Phillips, 27, from
Montreal, will meet fellow Canadian
Shahier Razik,
the top seed, in the semi-final in the top half of the draw, while Giuffre
will take on second-seeded Englishman Daryl Selby in the other
semi.
Canadians Canter Into Coastal Contacts Quarters
There will
be domestic interest in all four quarter-finals of the Coastal Contacts
Jericho Squash Open after five Canadians survived first round encounters in
the $20,000 PSA Tour event at Jericho Tennis Club in
Vancouver.
Top seed Shahier Razik will face eighth seed Robin Clarke in an
all-Canadian last eight match after the 29-year-old from Toronto beat compatriot
Andrew McDougall, a qualifier, 11-6, 11-7, 11-7. Clarke defeated
Germany's
Jens Schoor 11-3, 11-9, 11-6.
