Rodriguez Romps To Rochester Title
Colombian Miguel Angel Rodriguez celebrated his second PSA Tour title success in three months when he beat Egypt's Yasser El Halaby in a dramatic five-game final of the Rochester Pro Squash Championship in New York, USA.

Top seed in a Tour event for the first time, Rodriguez won the opening game on a tie-break - then went two games down as the unseeded US-based Egyptian began to take control of the match.

But the 20-year-old Colombian, who won his maiden PSA title at the Tortugas Open in Argentina in November, regained the advantage and ultimately claimed his 11-10 2-11 7-11 11-9 11-6 victory.

El Halaby Romps Into Rochester Final

Unseeded Egyptian Yasser El Halaby burst into the final of the Rochester ProAm Squash Championship after upsetting fourth-seeded compatriot Ahmed Maged Hamza 11-7 11-10 11-7 in the semi-finals of the PSA Tour event in New York.


In only his second month back as a PSA member after taking three years out, El Halaby made his breakthrough after despatching Colombia's No2 seed Bernardo Samper in the first round.


The US-based Egyptian, in his second PSA Tour final, will now face another Colombian in the final. Top seed Miguel Angel Rodriguez beat Australia's third seed Ben Gould 8-11 11-10 11-7 11-9 to celebrate his third appearance in a PSA Tour climax.
