Iván Pérez Wins 2025 PSA Andorra Open

UNSQUASHABLE player Iván Pérez captured the biggest title of his career at the 2025 PSA Andorra Squash Open, capping a sensational week with a superb 11-9 3-11 11-3 11-8 victory over top seed Grégoire Marche of France in the final at the Centre Esportiu d’Ordino.

The Spaniard, unseeded in the draw, produced a series of inspired performances throughout the tournament, combining tactical discipline with relentless physicality to overcome a succession of higher-ranked opponents on his way to the title. His triumph not only marks the most significant success of his PSA World Squash Tour career to date but also underscores his emergence as one of Europe’s most exciting young prospects.

Iván set the tone early in the week with an emphatic opening-round win over England’s Ben Smith, before shocking second seed Declan James in straight games to announce himself as a serious contender. He carried that momentum into the quarter-finals, recovering from a slow start to defeat Argentina’s Leandro Romiglio 4-11 11-2 11-9 11-2 with a display of power and precision.

In the semi-finals, Iván delivered another standout performance, edging England’s Patrick Rooney in a thrilling five-game battle that lasted 81 minutes. Demonstrating composure beyond his years, the Spaniard held firm under pressure, regaining control in the decider to secure his place in the biggest final of his career.

Facing top seed Grégoire Marche in the final, Iván rose to the occasion magnificently. After taking the opening game with smart variation and consistent length, he weathered a strong response from the Frenchman in the second before reasserting himself with a dominant third game. The fourth was a tense, high-quality affair, with both players trading lengthy rallies and attacking exchanges, but it was Iván who held his nerve to close out a memorable 52-minute victory.

Speaking after his win, Pérez reflected on a breakthrough week that showcased his tactical maturity and fighting spirit. The title represents not only a career milestone but also a statement of intent from a player rapidly establishing himself as a genuine contender on the PSA World Squash Tour.

With his victory in Andorra, Iván Pérez signals his readiness to compete consistently with the sport’s elite - a fitting reward for an squash player whose hard work, discipline, and belief continue to propel him to new heights.
