A first PSA title for Earles in Gdansk

Great two days for James Earles from England - a ensational win over top-seeded Paul Coll in friday's semifinal
gave him first ever PSA tournament final,  and another great performance in
saturday's final gave him first PSA title!

"I am extremely happy! And still do not believe it happened" said James straight after winning last ball when tournament director asked him to say few words for the crowd.

"It has been fantastic time here for me. Playing good squash and winning my first PSA title is ... great! I do not know what to say..."

Big applause for James and also his opponent Joel Malkin, who presented amazing skills of reaching almost every ball on the court followed this.

"Sensational tournament in Gdansk. 2 of out top 4 seeded players were out before semifinals and nr 1 was out in semifinal made this event special and unique. Great to see two young players at the beginning of their cariers here in our final" says Maciek Maciantowicz, tournament director.

PSA event in Gdansk is first one in new edition of PSA Polish Squash Tour. Next tournaments planned for 2015.
