Miguel Angel Rodriguez Wins 10th Tour Title In Guatemala

Colombian Miguel Angel Rodriguez extended a winning run over Eric Galvez when he beat his Mexican rival in the final of the Internacional Sporta Open to win the $15,000 PSA Tour squash event in its second year at Sporta in Santa Catarina Pinula, Guatemala.

"It was an awesome final, with a packed crowd of more than 250 at Sporta with high hopes of watching an excellent game," said event promoter Luis Arturo Mérida.

Second seed Galvez dominated the first game and led 6-4 in the second. But top seed Rodriguez fought back to draw level.

The third game saw the 23-year-old from Bogotá raise his game even further as Rodriguez went on to win the match 7-11, 11-8, 11-2, 11-2 to lift the title.

The triumph marked the tenth PSA Tour title for Rodriguez, the world No23 and highest-ranked Colombian of all-time.

"The event was a total success in all aspects," added Mérida. "The level of play was amazing and the sportsmanship shown by the players on every game. We had such a good experience that we plan to run the tournament again next year - hopefully with more benefits to the players."
