Finitsis Finishes First In Turin
Australia's Steve
Finitsis disappointed local hopes in the final of the Turin Open when
he ended Italian qualifier Jose Facchini's dream run in the $6,000 PSA
World Tour squash event at Squash City Club in Turin to win
the sixth Tour title of his career.
Facchini, a 37-year-old
from Lucca competing in only his second Tour event of the year, made his
breakthrough in the quarter-finals, where he beat fellow qualifier Adel El
Zarka, an Egyptian who had ousted top-seeded Czech Jan Koukal in the
opening round.
But second seed Finitsis,
the Netherlands-based world No70 from Queensland, was too strong for the local
hero in the final, winning 11-7, 11-5, 11-0 in 25 minutes to win the sixth PSA
title of all-time, but his first this year.
