ElShorbagy beats Cardenas to win Canadian Open

3 hours ago 19

England's Mohamed ElShorbagy won his second title of the PSA Squash Tour season with victory over Mexico's Leonel Cardenas in the Canadian Open in Calgary.

ElShorbagy, the world number eight, defeated Cardenas, ranked 16, 11-5 11-5 11-7.

The 36-minute win gave the former world champion the 51st PSA Tour title of his career and follows his China Open win in November.

The 34-year-old started strongly, winning seven of the opening eight points and wrapping up the first game after only seven minutes.

Although Cardenas tried to add more duration into the rallies into the second and third games, ElShorbagy proved too strong.

"I was really happy with the level of my focus this week," he said.

"I arrived this week on paper as quite a heavy favourite, but that doesn't mean anything. I have shown sometimes in the past that I would lose focus in some of these matches, drop games, and get myself into trouble. That was something that I really wanted to focus on this week."
