Costa Rica
Hailed As New PSA Tour Stopover
Andres
Echeverria
leads local interest in the 'Tour De Las Americas' Costa Rica Squash Open,
the first PSA World Tour event ever to be staged in Costa Rica.
The $6,750
Super Satellite championship gets underway today at the Costa Rica Tennis
Club in the Central America country's capital San Jose following the
completion of the qualifying competition.
"We are
delighted to have another Pan American country venue on the PSA Tour,"
said Professional Squash Association Tour Executive Sheila Cooksley. "The
PSA is very keen to get PSA players into as many countries as we can to showcase
the PSA World Tour.
"We look
forward to helping the organisers build the tournament over the years to come."
Andres
Echeverria,
a 27-year-old from San Jose ranked 431 in the world, has twice represented Costa
Rica in the Pan American Championships - but is making his Tour debut in this
inaugural PSA event in his hometown.
Echeverria,
who will be joined by 'lucky loser' Lucas Restrepo in the main draw
following the late withdrawal of third-seeded Mexican Erik Tepos Valtierra,
will face Canada's top seed Robin Clarke in the opening round.
