Kashif Conquers Clyne In Spanish Open
Climax
New Zealander Kashif
Shuja clinched his first PSA World Tour squash title in Europe when
he beat Scotland's Alan Clyne in a marathon final of the VX-Power
Spanish Open, the $8,000 Super Satellite event at Centro Insular
de Squash de Tenerife in Santa Cruz, Tenerife.
The Pakistan-born top seed
reached the final without dropping a game - but the 30-year-old was soon put
under pressure by Clyne, the 23-year-old third seed from Edinburgh who went
two-games-to-one up, then led 6-2 in the fourth.
Shuja, a PSA Tour veteran
since 1995, called upon all his experience to fight back to win the fourth - and
then claimed the decider to record an impressive 11-7, 6-11, 8-11, 11-9, 11-8
title victory in 85 minutes.
The triumph marked the
eighth Tour title of Shuja's career, but his first since November 2007.
