Krajcsak
Crowned Saskatoon Champion
Hungarian Mark Krajcsak
crowned a successful week in Canada when he upset favourite Aaron Frankcomb
in the final of Saskatoon Boast Open to lift the $10,000 PSA Tour
title at the YMCA of Saskatoon in Saskatoon.
The 24-year-old second
seed from Budapest was in sparkling form in his maiden appearance in the event
in its seventh successive year in the province of Saskatchewan - and reached the
final after only dropping one game.
While Krajcsak had a
reasonably comfortable semi-final win over seventh seed Nafzahizam Adnan,
from Malaysia, in 34 minutes, Frankcomb was taken the full distance by third
seed Shawn Delierre in the other semi before prevailing over the local
hero in 94 minutes.
"Hitting six tins in the
first game (of the final) indicated that Frankcomb wasn't himself," commented
event spokesman Brad Birnie. "Krajcsak had tight length, cut everything
off quickly and owned the T for the first two games. A few early mistakes by
Krajcsak and some steadier play by Frankcomb made the 25-minute third game tight
until Krajcsak hit a behind-the-back winner off an intentionally-centred
front-court drive from Frankcomb's backhand."
The 11-2, 11-6, 11-7 title
victory in 53 minutes takes Krajcsak's career Tour title tally to five -four
of which have been this year!
