Canada defeated Scotland 3-0 this afternoon (1pm local time) to move into the quarter finals. Shahier Razik started team Canada off strong with a straight games win over Stuart Crawford. According to Squashsite.co.uk "Staurt was not happy with his game, he thought he didn't played well, but then again, thats what Shahier does to you, he sucks you into his own game, and prevents you from attacking in good conditions, as he pins you way back ..." In an unusual turn of events Shahier defeated Crawford in just 25 minutes. Razik, who normally plays a much slower pace believes the up temp match may have caught Stuart off guard, "I've been tyring to keep the pace up on my game recently, trying to get off court as quick as I can, and I think I probably took him off guard, he was probably expecting a much slower pace ..."Next up for the Canadians was Jonathon Power, who for the first time in the tournamnet was tested, needing all 5 games to defeat Alan Clyne in a 63 minute marathon.
With the match clinched Shawn Delierre defeated Chris Small 2-0 in the dead rubber.
