Elias Claims 2022
Motor City Open Title
Peru’s
World No.6 Diego Elias claimed the 10th PSA title of his career after
defeating Egypt’s Fares Dessouky in the Motor City Open final in
Detroit, USA.
The 25-year-old had been in spellbinding form all week at the PSA World
Tour Silver event, axing the likes of future World No.1 Paul Coll in the
semi-finals, before prevailing 11-5, 11-8, 11-9 over World No.9 Dessouky,
who was playing in his first PSA event since September last year after
suffering from injury.
Elias adds to his 2020 title at the event and becomes the first player
in the tournament’s history to become a back-to-back winner and the win
also means he ties with coach Jonathon Power and former World No.1
Mohamed ElShorbagy for the most titles at the tournament.
Elias took a strong lead as he pounced on Dessouky’s mistakes to lay the
foundations for an impressive 3-0 victory in 45 minutes.
“I’m always feeling great in this tournament,” Elias said. “I like the
courts, I like the people here. They make us feel like home. I’m very
happy with my performance this week.
“He’s an attacking player, so I just needed to be patient and keep my
lines and try to be smart. He gave me a few errors every game, so that
helped. I knew he could maybe take one (or) two games, but if I keep
being patient and hitting the lines, I thought that was a game plan to
win.”
“I was injured since April. Three doctors told me to stop playing
squash, but I didn’t stop, I kept going,” Dessouky said. “I believed in
myself so much. I believed in my family, I believed in my coaches, I
believe in the process in my doctors, and I’m very happy to be back and
competing again.
