Elias is Squash Player’s Player of the Month, after winning Peru’s first
squash gold medal at the Pan American Games in July in front of his home
fans.
The 22-year-old top seed defeated defending champion Miguel Rodriguez
11-6, 7-11, 12-10, 11-8 in a 65-minute men's final before a packed
partisan crowd in Lima.
Elias’s win avenged his loss in the 2015 final to the Colombian and was
the Peruvian's first ever win over his 33-year-old regional rival from
Bogota in seven meetings.
