Koukal Keeps Bratislava Crown
Czech number one Jan
Koukal successfully retained his PSA Imet Open title when he beat
surprise English opponent Joel Hinds in the final of the $3,000 PSA
World Tour squash event at Imet Squash Club in the Slovakian capital
Bratislava.
Top seed Koukal, the world
No56 from Prague, dropped only one game en-route to the 15th Tour final of his
career.
Hinds achieved the same -
but the No7 seed did so after upsetting Austria's second seed Aqeel Rehman
in the quarter-finals, then third-seeded Czech Lukas Jelinek in straight
games in the semis.
But 26-year-old Koukal was
in control in the final, beating Hinds 11-4, 6-11, 11-8, 11-4 to collect his
second successive Tour title in the month - following his hometown success in
the Prague Open a week earlier.
The title triumph takes
Koukal's career PSA title haul to 11, and extends his 100% record in 2009 finals
to three!
