It's Ten For Tuominen
At Pacific Athletic Club Open
Finn Olli Tuominen marked up the tenth PSA title of his
career at the Pacific Athletic Club Open after beating Canadian
Shahier Razik in the final at the Pacific Athletic Club in Redwood
City in California.
The 30-year-old from Helsinki dropped just one game en-route to his
15th Tour final, dismissing unexpected opponent Stephane Galifi, the
No7 seed from Italy, in straight games in the semi-finals.
Second seed Razik celebrated his fourth successive appearance in a
Tour semi-final in North America this month by beating defending
champion Julian Illingworth, the No3 seed from New York, in a
hard-fought 65-minute straight games encounter.
But top seed Tuominen was in control from the outset in the final,
winning 11-7, 11-2, 12-10 in 58 minutes to secure his second trophy
of the year after winning the Finnish Open on home soil last month
for the third time.

Galifi will now face top-seeded Finn Olli Tuominen for a place in
