Ronald Palomino Reaches PSA Costa Rica Open Final

UNSQUASHABLE player Ronald Palomino powered into the final of the 2025 PSA SACC Costa Rica Squash Open with a dominant series of performances at the Santa Ana Country Club in Santa Ana, Costa Rica, underlining his status as one of the in-form players on the PSA World Tour.

The Colombian No.2 seed enjoyed a first-round bye before opening his campaign in commanding fashion, sweeping past Mexico’s Jorge Gómez Domínguez 11-5 11-3 11-4 in just 24 minutes. Ronald's precision hitting and fast-paced control set the tone for a confident run through the draw, with the UNSQUASHABLE player barely allowing his opponent time to settle.

In the quarter-finals, Ronald withstood a spirited challenge from Guatemala’s Alejandro Enríquez, winning 11-4 11-5 3-11 11-5 in 57 minutes. After dropping the third game, the young Colombian responded with impressive composure, tightening his lines and reasserting his authority to close out the match with clinical efficiency.

Ronald then produced his most polished display of the week in the semi-finals, dispatching another Guatemalan, Josué Enríquez, 11-4 11-6 11-5 in 30 minutes. Controlling the middle of the court throughout, the Colombian’s athleticism and accuracy proved simply too strong, securing his place in the final without ever looking troubled.

His progression to the title decider highlights both his growing consistency and his ability to dictate matches from the outset - qualities that have defined his rise on the PSA World Squash Tour this season.

Ronald Palomino will now face Mohamed Sharaf of Egypt in the final, where he will look to complete a superb week in Costa Rica by capturing the PSA SACC Costa Rica Open title.
