The Peruvian finished the tournament without dropping a game. A delighted Elias said: “I’m really happy to be the first winner of a tournament like this.
Hopefully, this keeps happening every year and I can come back next year and try and win it again. ” “I want to say thanks to Mohamed. He has been one of the best ever in squash, and I hope one day I can achieve what he has achieved and be like him when he loses.
It’s like he is a winner too, I appreciate it a lot, you don’t see it very often. ” This was ElShorbagy’s first final since changing his allegiance from Egypt to England earlier this week.
