Garcia Downs Todd To Claim Title
Mexico’s Diana Garcia claimed the second Tour title of her career on
Sunday afternoon, after she got the better of Canadian Nikki Todd in the
final of the JK Windsor Open at the Devonshire Mall in Windsor, Ontario,
Canada.
Garcia came into the tournament as the No.2 seed, but she was actually
the highest ranked player in the draw, and she started her campaign for
the week against Canada’s Catherine Giachino, winning in straight games,
and dropping just ten points in the contest.
She came through her quarter final contest with compatriot and No.7 seed
Diana Gasca in four games, before then getting the better of the
tournament’s surprise package, unseeded Ecuadorian Maria Moya, also in
four games.
The final saw Garcia take on Todd, with the pair meeting for the sixth
time on Tour. The Mexican came in with just the one win in their
previous five meetings, but that came in the final of the Copa
Produbanco – PSA Quito-Arrayanes Squash Open back in 2019, when Garcia
claimed her maiden Tour title.
The first game of the final on Sunday afternoon was a tight one, going
deep into a tie-break, and it was the 29-year-old Mexican that took it
15-13. That was crucial moving forward in the final, as she took that
momentum and maintained it throughout, to win in three games, and to
claim her second victory on Tour.

Todd and Garcia Into Final In Ontario
The final of the JK Windsor Open is set at the Devonshire Mall in
Windsor, Ontario, Canada, with home favourite and top seed Nikki Todd
ready to take on Mexico’s Diana Garcia for the Challenger 5 level down.
Todd, the top seed for the competition, took on Japan’s Erisa Sano
Herring in the semi-finals, after the No.5 seed had taken out No.3 seed
Laura Tovar in the last eight. The pair were level after two games,
before Todd was able to move out into a lead after the third, one she
did not relinquish. An 11-5 win in the fourth game gave her the victory,
and saw her move through to the final of the event.
She will now face the tournament’s No.2 seed, Mexico’s Diana Garcia,
after the World No.96 overcame the challenge of the unseeded Maria Moya.
The Ecuadorian had already gotten the better of two seeded players to
reach the semis, but Garcia proved to be a step too far. A 14-12
tie-break win in the third was crucial for the Mexican, who then went on
to take the fourth as well to seal the deal.
Todd and Garcia will now meet in the final of the JK Windsor Open on
Sunday afternoon at the Devonshire Mall in Ontario, Canada, where the
pair will face off for the Challenger 5 level crown. You can keep up to
date with live scores from the final on the PSA World Tour’s website.

Herring And Moya Gatecrash Semis
The surprises keep on coming in Ontario, as Ecuadorian Maria Moya took
out a seeded player for the second day in succession, and she will be
joined by Japan’s Erisa Sano Herring in the last four after another
surprise win on Friday.
On the opening day of the Challenger 5 level competition, Moya had
defeated No.4 seed Arisha Khan, and she then came up against Canadian
Sara Khan, the tournament’s No.8 seed, in the quarter finals. The
Ecuadorian was in fine form throughout, spending just 14 minutes on
court and dropping only nine points in the match! She will now face
Mexico’s Diana Garcia, the No.2 seed, in the semis after Garcia came
through an all-Mexican clash with Diana Gasca.
The other semi-final on Saturday in Ontario will see Japan’s Erisa Sano
Herring take on top seed Nikki Todd. Herring, the No.5 seed, overcame
the challenge of No.3 seed Laura Tovar in a five-game battle, while home
favourite Todd defeated compatriot Amal Izhar in four games, coming from
behind to take the win.
The semi-finals of the JK Windsor Open will take place on Saturday,
August 20 at the Devonshire Mall in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, where the
last four will go head-to-head to reach the finals on Sunday afternoon.
