Seeded third in the tournament, Fadte produced a commanding performance throughout the championship, winning all four matches without dropping a single game against a competitive international field featuring players from Spain, France, England, Wales, Argentina and India.<\/p>\n

Fadte began his campaign with a 3\u20130 victory over Spain\u2019s Aleix Romero, winning 11\u20133, 11\u20136, 11\u20134 in 35 minutes. In the quarterfinals, he defeated Adrian Gaug, Spain\u2019s No. 1 junior, 11\u20135, 11\u20139, 11\u20137 in 31 minutes.<\/p>\n

The semifinal presented a tougher challenge against second seed Marc Altarriba, Spain\u2019s No. 4-ranked player. Fadte maintained his unbeaten run with a 3\u20130 victory, prevailing 11\u20137, 11\u20137, 13\u201311 in 47 minutes.<\/p>\n

In the title clash, Fadte faced tournament top seed Ignacio Fajardo. The Goan wrapped up another straight-games victory, winning 11\u20135, 11\u20138, 14\u201312 in 50 minutes to lift the trophy.<\/p>\n

The victory marks another important milestone in Fadte\u2019s professional career as he seeks to improve his PSA world ranking and position himself for the longer-term race towards Olympic qualification.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am absolutely happy to have won another championship, and I\u2019m feeling more and more confident as I\u2019m getting these wins,\u201d Fadte said. He added that his immediate focus is on securing maximum wins and ranking points during an important upcoming season.<\/p>\n

Fadte will next travel to Portugal for another PSA tournament, followed by events in Copenhagen and France. He is expected to return to India in November to compete in the Senior National Squash Championships in Mumbai.<\/p>\n
