Meguid Makes His Mark In Saint Petersburg
Open
Egypt's Omar Abdel
Meguid became the surprise winner of the inaugural Saint Petersburg Open
after upsetting top seed Andrew McDougall in the final of the $3,000
PSA World Tour squash event at Tauras Fitness Sports Club in Saint
Petersburg in Russia.
The 21-year-old second seed
from Giza reached the final without dropping a game – and maintained his 'clean
sheet' in the event with a 12-10, 11-6, 11-4 victory over the Canadian favourite
in 42 minutes.
The win extends his
portfolio of PSA Tour titles to two – and extends his unbeaten record in Tour
finals.
