Koukal Conquers Clarke In White Oaks Open
Czech number one Jan
Koukal survived a marathon encounter with local hero Robin Clarke
in the final of the Pepsi White Oaks Open, coming back from behind to
lift clinch the inaugural $6,625 PSA World Tour squash title at The
Club at White Oaks in Niagara on the Lake in Ontario, Canada.
Top seed Koukal claimed his
anticipated place in the final after overcoming Christopher Gordon, the
fourth seed from the USA, in a four-game semi-final.
But Clarke, the 23-year-old
third seed from Ottawa, made his breakthrough in the other semi - upsetting
second-seeded Australian Scott Arnold 11-7, 11-8, 8-11, 4-11, 12-10 in 85
minutes to earn his seventh appearance in a PSA Tour final.
And the young Canadian,
ranked 73 in the world, battled his way to a 2/1 lead over the Czech favourite
in the showdown.
But Koukal, ranked 15
places higher, used his greater experience to claw back the advantage,
ultimately winning 11-6, 10-12, 13-15, 11-8, 11-5 in 88 minutes to claim the 12th
Tour title of his career.
