Koukal
Crowned Henderson Open Champion In NZ
Czech
squash star Jan Koukal survived his third five-game battle in
three days in the Doubledot Media Henderson Open in New Zealand
when he overcame local hope Evan Williams in today's final to win
the inaugural PSA World Tour Challenger 5 squash event at
Henderson Squash Club in Auckland.
Third
seed Williams started brilliantly, winning the opening two games and
looking on track to avenge his two Tour defeats to Koukal earlier this
year.
However, the 29-year-old top seed refused to lie down, gradually clawing
his way back into the match and eventually wrapping up a 10-12, 7-11,
11-9, 11-4, 11-8 victory in 72 minutes.
The
triumph marks the 22nd Tour title of Koukal's career - and his third
this year.
