Coll beaten

-

New Zealand’s Paul Coll has been beaten in the second round of the prestigiou­s British Open squash tournament held in Hull, England this morning. Coll ranked 16 in the world lost to the eighth seed Tarek Momen of Egypt 11-6 11-9 20-18 in 62 minutes. Despite the loss Coll, 24 should still see his ranking improve and gained some confidence from his first round match but he’s not happy about the loss. ‘‘I wasn’t feeling my best on court. If I had sneaked that third game he was looking a bit tired, so who knows what could have happened, it’s a bit frustratin­g to let that slip.’’ The Kiwi had beaten Momen last time they played, the final of December’s St George Open, however it was the Egyptian who made fewer errors on this occasion.
