Amanda Quote:

I am ecstatic right now. This is my biggest tournament tour title to date and I'm so happy to have won it here in Texas! The crowd has been amazing all week and Sanjeeb and his team put on a spectacular event and took care of all the players so well. I fully enjoyed my time here and really looking forward to coming back to Dallas! Nour el Tayeb is such a talented player and a fighter and I knew I had to be mentally and physically strong in order to beat her today. I want to thank my coaches Thierry Lincou and Shahid Zaman for working with me to get ready for this tournament. I also need to thank my family for their continuous support because without them I would be nowhere. Bringing this trophy back to Harvard with me where I will finish up my last month of school before I graduate on May 28th! Hopefully this is just the start of good things to come for my pro career!

Nour Quote:

First of all it has been a great week. Everyone has been super nice and very welcoming. From the people to the organising committee. One of the best organised tournaments I have been to for sure.

Today Amanda was the better player. She played the right game. Unfortunately, I couldn't push through today and she just played better than I did so all credit to her.

Thanks Sanjeeb and your team for the support you give to the squash world. It is very appreciated.
