August 28, 2015 - Mexican Alfredo Avila has been named Player of the Month for September by the authoritative London-based Squash Player magazine after becoming the first qualifier to win the $50,000 Colombian Open.

The world no.54 claimed easily the biggest title of his career by upsetting fifth seed Fares Dessouki, third seed Borja Golan, second seed Peter Barker and sixth seed Saurav Ghosal in Bogota.

"I am really, really happy to have won today, but not just today, also to have won every hard match during the tournament," said the 24-year-old after collecting the seventh PSA Tour title of his career.

"This is my first title in a PSA M50 tournament and this is amazing for me and my people."

Avila’s previous best victory came in the $15,000 Manitoba Open in Canada in March. It was the first time a Mexican had won the Colombian Open.
