Williams conquered by Koukal
26 Aug 2012Top seed Jan Koukal has added another PSA title to his collection after a thrilling final in Henderson
New Zealand's Evan Williams has come agonisingly close to his first title on the PSA men's world squash tour.
Williams has been beaten in five games by top seed Jan Koukal in the final of the Henderson Open in Auckland. The 22-year-old Kiwi started brilliantly, winning the opening two games and appeared to be on track to avenge his two defeats to Koukal earlier this year on tour.
However, the 29-year-old Czech 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.
