Australian Aaron Frankcomb doubled his collection of PSA World Tour squash titles when he won the Bailian Youyicheng Shopping Mall & Yangzu Store China Open, the $11,500 PSA Tour event in its third year at the Bailian Youyicheng Shopping Mall in Shanghai.
Top-seeded Frankcomb reached the sixth Tour final of his career without dropping a game.
His opponent was Kristian Frost Olesen, the third seed from Denmark who secured his unexpected place in the climax - the second final of his career - after beating unseeded Anson Kwong in the semi-finals.
The 24-year-old from Hong Kong made his breakthrough after removing the event's No2 seed Karim AGA Samy, of Egypt, in the quarter-finals.
But Hobart-born 25-year-old Frankcomb was too strong for Olesen in the final, winning 11-8, 11-3, 11-6 to claim his second PSA Tour title.
The success keeps the title in Australian hands after compatriot Ryan Cuskelly won the title in 2009.
