Rafa retains Brazilian Open title
Brazilian star Rafael Alarcon produced the dream result for
organisers of the Tour De Las Americas Brazil Open when he
successfully retained the title at Academia Winner in Belo Horizonte.
The second seed from Sao Paulo despatched a fellow countryman, an
Italian and a Frenchman on the way to the final for the second year
in a row - where he faced top seed Jan Koukal, the Czech number one
ranked ten places higher in the world rankings.
But, with the local crowd firmly behind him, the 34-year-old world
No58 battled for 54 minutes to upset Koukal, aged 28, 11-8, 10-12,
11-6, 11-5.
The triumph marked the first PSA title of the year for Alarcon - but
the 17th of his career, and his 11th on home soil.
