Krajcsak Crowned Hithercroft
Champion
Mark
Krajcsak captured the Hithercroft
Open crown in England at the weekend – but the top-ranked Hungarian had to
fight back from two games down to beat home hope Robbie Temple in the
final of the PSA World Tour Super Satellite squash event at
Hithercroft Squash Club in Wallingford, Oxfordshire.
The
25-year-old from Budapest had already overcome three Englishmen on his way to
the final – beating fourth seed Ben Ford in a four-game semi-final.
But it was a
105-minute marathon that left-hander Temple endured in the other semi-final –
the 23-year-old from Gloucester edging out compatriot Shaun le Roux, the
No3 seed, 11-8, 18-16, 4-11, 8-11, 11-9.
However,
London-based Temple showed no signs of the effect of his earlier battle as he
moved two games up in the final. But crafty Krajcsak, ranked 41 in the world –
25 places higher than his opponent – reclaimed the momentum to record his 7-11,
7-11, 11-7, 11-8, 11-9 victory, and notch up the seventh PSA Tour title of his
career.
