Krajcsak Crowned Oslo Champion
Írta: Howard Harding
 Hungary's Mark Krajcsak emerged triumphant in the new Grays Oslo Open at the Myrens Sportssenter in the Norwegian capital.
Victory in the men's final brought to a climax three years of hard toil on the PSA Tour for the second seed – and the reward of the first ever PSA Tour title win by a Hungarian.
The 22-year-old from Budapest was celebrating his third appearance in a PSA final this year – as well as a runner-up position in the World University Championship in September.
But after triple disappointment, Krajcsak finally made his long-awaited breakthrough with an 11-6, 11-5, 11-5 victory in 30 minutes over Romain Tenant – ending the French qualifier's giant-killing run at the new squash centre in Oslo.
