Top seeds Paul Coll and Olivia Weaver captured the Squash in the Land titles after defeating Leonel Cardenas and Sabrina Sobhy, respectively, at UH Drusinsky Sports Medicine Institute.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
US No.1 Weaver didn’t drop a single game on her way to lifting her 12th<\/sup> title on the PSA Squash Tour, producing some of her finest squash in Cleveland against her fellow countrywoman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “To be here and win the title against Sabrina. She played well to get past Nele [Gilis] yesterday, so I knew that she was going to be up for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “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.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the men’s title decider, Coll marked his first visit to Cleveland by scooping the title with a 3-0 success against Cardenas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The World No.2 was sharp all week, but was given a physical test by the 2024 winner Cardenas, with the opening two games both over 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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<\/sup> piece of silverware on Tour – his third this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “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.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n FINAL RESULTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Women’s: <\/strong>[1] Olivia Weaver (USA) bt.
