Koukal Celebrates Prague Double
Czech squash star Jan Koukal collected his second PSA Tour title in his hometown in a week when he beat fellow qualifier Chris Ryder in the final of the Petr's Prague Open at Squashpark Cibulka in the Czech Republic capital.
The 22-year-old from Prague, who won the Czech Open last week - also as a qualifier - recovered from a game down to Englishman Chris Ryder before taking the next three to record a 10-11 11-4 11-9 11-7 victory.
The success marks Koukal's fifth PSA title triumph – remarkably, all of which have been in Prague! Thus the Czech number one boast an unbeaten Tour record in his hometown of almost two years – since he first won the Czech Open in February 2004.
