Rodriguez Wins
Pachuca Prize
Colombian
Miguel Angel Rodriguez claimed his second successive title on the PSA
World Tour when he beat Julian Illingworth in the final of the
inaugural $16,175 Bicentenario Pachuca Squash Open at Silver Squash
in Pachuca in the Mexican state of Hidalgo.
The
24-year-old from Bogota, Colombia's highest-ranked player of all-time, is
currently enjoying one of the best runs of his career. The world No31 followed
his victory in the Tortugas Open in Argentina by winning the gold medal
in the Central America & Caribbean Games for the first time last month.
After
surviving two punishing matches in Pachuca, each lasting more than an hour, top
seed Rodriguez faced US rival Illingworth, the No2 seed, in the final.
The Colombian
took the first two games for the loss of only seven points when New Yorker
Illingworth was forced to concede the match due to injury.
The success
marks Rodriguez's 14th PSA Tour title.
Tepos Takes
Mexican Interest Into All Quarters In Pachuca
There will be
home interest in all four quarter-finals of the inaugural Bicentenario
Pachuca Open after unseeded Erik Tepos Valtierra ousted seventh seed
Dick Lau in the opening round of the $16,175 PSA World Tour squash
event at Silver Squash in Pachuca in the Mexican state of
Hidalgo.
Tepos, a
23-year-old from Mexico City, despatched his Hong Kong opponent 11-7, 11-7, 11-3
and will now face second-seeded American Julian Illingworth for a place
in the semi-finals.
Illingworth,
the world No36 from New York, took 52 minutes to overcome Mexican Jonathan
Uriel Ramos Islas 11-9, 11-5, 11-8.
Fresh from his
title triumph in the Inove Open earlier this month on home soil,
Brazilian Rafael F Alarcon recovered from a game down to beat Mexican
qualifier Alfredo Avila 5-11, 11-4, 11-9, 11-6 in 45 minutes.
The third seed
from Sao Paulo now faces sixth-seeded Mexican Cesar Salazar, an 11-5,
11-3, 11-7 winner over Argentina's Gonzalo Miranda.
