Tortala: Argentina’s Gonzalo Miranda won the first PSA World Tour title of his career when he beat Manoel Pereira in an all-South American final of the British Virgin Islands Open Squash Championship, the PSA Challenger 5 event in its second year at Pasea Estate in Tortola in the British Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n
Top seed Miranda reached the final after dethroning defending champion Christopher Binnie, the third seed from Jamaica, in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n
Unseeded Brazilian Manoel Pereira, ranked outside the world top 200, made his breakthrough in the quarter-finals where he defeated fourth-seeded Canadian Thomas Brinkman. A semi-final win over Englishman Tom Pashley took the 28-year-old from Sao Paulo into the first Tour final of his career.<\/p>\n
But Miranda, the 23-year-old world No84 from La Plata, was on top throughout the final – despatching Pereira 11-2, 11-2, 11-4 in 37 minutes to take the trophy.<\/p>\n
