Egyptian Mohd Ali Anwar Reda justified his top-seeding in the St Louis Racquet Club Invitational Open when he beat second seed Ryan Cuskelly in the final of the inaugural $6,000 PSA Tour squash event at the Racquet Club in St Louis, USA.
The 19-year-old world No54 from Cairo ended North American interest in the event when he beat fourth-seeded Canadian David Phillips in the semi-finals.
In the final, Reda recovered from a game down to beat Cuskelly, the world No63 from New South Wales, 8-11, 11-9, 11-9, 11-8 to celebrate the seventh Tour title of his career.
Final:
