Avila
Flourishes At Florida State Open
Mexico's
Alfredo Avila became the surprise winner of the Betty F Griffin Florida
State Open after beating second seed Andrew Wagih Shoukry in a
five-game final of the PSA World Tour Super Satellite squash event at
Life Time Athletic Club in Boca Raton, USA.
Sixth seed
Avila made his breakthrough in the previous round when he upset event favourite
Gilly Lane, the world No57 from Philadelphia, in four games.
But Egyptian
Wagih Shoukry also had a tough semi, fighting back from 2/0 down to overcome
third-seeded Mexican Erik Tepos Valtierra.
And the
20-year-old world No70 from Cairo twice led in the final - and was within
touching distance of the title after the fourth game went to a tie-break.
But
19-year-old Avila, ranked 138 in the world, maintained his focus to force a
fifth game decider before closing out the match 3-11, 11-7, 8-11, 13-11, 11-6 to
claim his first title on the PSA Tour.
