Rodriguez Takes 2014 Abierto Colombiano Title from PSA media August 11, 2014
- Miguel Angel Rodriguez delighted the locals in Bogota to claim his
third Abierto Colombiano de Squash Club El Nogal title, taking the PSA
International 50 crown after defeating Egyptian Omar Mossad in
thrilling 63-minute finale.
Rodriguez disposed of
tournament favourite Simon Rösner in the semi-finals, following
impressive victories over Cesar Salazar and Omar Abdel Meguid in the
opening rounds, and the World No.14 continued his fine run of form to
come from behind and see off the higher ranked, and number two seed,
Mossad 9-11, 11-7, 11-7, 11-1.
In a tense opening
game, it was Mossad who prevailed in a battle of attrition, taking
23-minutes to notch a 1-0 lead on the scoreboard but the dynamic crowd
favourite Rodriguez responded, mixing up his attacking play to stretch
the World No.13 and force the errors which eventually saw him add to
his previous victories in 2008 and 2010.
