An all-Mexican final of the Cuauhtémoc Mexican Open saw favourite Eric Galvez triumph in style in Mexico City when he beat unseeded Jose Angel Becerril to win the fourth PSA Tour title of his career.
Galvez, who celebrates his 23rd birthday this week, despatched Australian Luke Margan in just 27 minutes in the semi-finals before facing Becerril, the 21-year-old from Mexico City who had prevailed in a 50-minute encounter with Mexican qualifier Jorge Isaac Baltazar Ferreira.
But Galvez, the Central America and Caribbean Games champion from Puebla, was too strong for his compatriot in the final – and maintained his straight games run in the event by beating Becerril 11-8, 11-4, 11-7 in 50 minutes.
