Mikkel Celebrates Maiden PSA Title Success in Qatar
Denmark's Mikkel Korsbjerg claimed the first PSA Tour title of his career
when he won the Qatar Squash Circuit Event No1 in the country's capital city
Doha.
The top-seeded 26-year-old from Odense was taken the full distance in the
final by his opponent Alex Stait, the fourth seed from England who upset
Pakistan's No2 seed Ajaz Azmat in the semi-finals. Korsbjerg twice came from
behind before finally beating the 23-year-old from Gloucestershire 10-15
15-12 12-15 15-5 15-13 in 70 minutes.
Mikkel, ranked 58 in the world, was also fully extended in a 70-minute first
round match - against his twin brother Mads Korsbjerg, a qualifier!
Favourite Mikkel slipped two games down, then fought back to secure his
quarter-final place with an 11-15 8-15 15-9 15-12 15-7 victory.
