| ON TOUR WITH RAZIK |
| MARATHON MAN RAZIK WINS BLUENOSE SQUASH CLASSIC, FEBRUARY 23, 2007 Twenty four PSA tour members representing eleven countries, and four local area pros, started their run at the prize six days ago. Tonight, after over two hours of textbook execution, Canada's Shahier Razik came through the winner of the 2007 Bluenose Squash Classic over Borja Golan of Spain. The packed house was primed for a show after some high octane introductions. The first game started with safe and methodical squash fundamentals up and down the walls by both players. Golan peppered his half of the exchanges with numerous backhand wall boasts that were tight and low to the tin. Razik wasn't getting an early enough start to meet them at the front right and lost a couple of points to the same pattern, arriving at 6-2 Golan. Punctuating almost every rally were "lets" and more "lets". These were not contentious, nor part of any gamesmanship on either side, simply two players equal to each other's abilities in speed, anticipation and decision. 9-5 for Golan came, in demonstration of the sportsmanship on display in general, when Shahier called his own backhand boast down. First game score 11-5 Golan. For Complete story: http://www.squash.ca/e/story_detail.cfm?id=1329 READ MORE ABOUT RAZIK ON TOUR.... |
