- Cesar Salazar became the third Mexican in six years to win the
Atlanta Open after beating Pakistan's Nasir Iqbal in the final of the
PSA World Tour Challenger 10 squash event at the Lifetime Athletic
Atlanta in Atlanta in the US state of Georgia.
The 26-year-old World
No.43 from San Luis Potosi dropped the first game to the second-seeded
Pakistani teenager Iqbal - but the event favourite struck back to take
the next three games to record his 2-11, 11-3, 11-5, 11-8 title triumph
in the first tournament in the 2014 Life Time Squash Grand Prix Tour.
The success - which
marks the fourth PSA World Tour title of Salazar's career - follows
Mexican winners Eric Galvez in 2008 and Alfredo Avila in 2012.
