Coll & Weaver Win Squash In Land Silverware

Top seeds Paul Coll and Olivia Weaver captured the 2026 Squash in the Land presented by Porsche Beachwood titles after defeating Leonel Cardenas and Sabrina Sobhy, respectively, in the PSA Squash Tour Silver event finals at UH Drusinsky Sports Medicine Institute in Cleveland, USA.

US No.1 Weaver did not drop a single game on her way to lifting her 12th Tour title, producing some of her finest squash in Cleveland against her compatriot.

Weaver, who had been a semi-finalist at best previously in Cleveland, dominated the middle of the court throughout to leave Sobhy unable to assert herself as the world No.5 won 11-5, 11-2, 11-2 in 24 minutes.

"I'm feeling great, it's the perfect way to start off the New Year. I always enjoy playing here in Cleveland, it's one of those tournaments that all of the players love playing in," she said afterwards.

"To be here and win the title against Sabrina. She played well to get past Nele yesterday, so I knew that she was going to be up for it.

"It was tough conditions out there with the light, it was tricky for both of us. But I'm happy with how I played my way through it. I found a way to get through.

"Going into the New Year I'm just trying to trust myself on court more, trust my skills, trust my ability to be able to read each rally as it comes. I felt like I did that this week."

In the men's final, Coll marked his first visit to Cleveland by scooping the title with a 3/0 success against Cardenas.

The world No.2 was sharp all week, but was given a physical test by the 2024 winner Cardenas, with the opening two games against the Mexican both over 20 minutes.

The damage done by Coll in those two games appeared to have paid dividends for the New Zealander, with the third only 13 minutes. Coll secured the title by a 11-7, 14-12, 11-4 scoreline for his 30th piece of silverware on Tour - his third this season.

"I've seen the event here in Cleveland for many years and the way it has grown into a Silver event, with a full glass court, it's awesome. I've loved it here this week," he said.

"One of the coolest things about squash is going to towns and getting that real sense of community and welcoming. I've had a great week in Cleveland."

The PSA Squash Tour heads to New York City next for the Sprott Tournament of Champions 2026 presented by Crowd Street from January 21 - 28. All of the action from the Platinum-level event will be streamed live on SQUASHTV.
