Paul Coll: NZ Squash Champion on defending his title, previewing the Australian Open

  • Summary

  • Paul Coll admits fulfilling a dream by winning the New Zealand Open squash title in front of a record crowd in Christchurch.

    The 32-year-old says the tournament exceeded expectations.

    A 2-time British Open Champion as well as a Commonwealth Games Champion, Coll is currently ranked number 4 in the world.

    He told Mike Hosking the tournament was a really good week for everyone involved, especially him, but he knows that those who travelled from abroad to compete had a good time.

    He says he was trying to soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the competition, but he also played the best squash he has all season.

    “I’m looking forward to pushing off for the rest of the season – excited to keep playing.”

    Coll now travels to Brisbane to compete in the Australian Open, which is a gold ranking event.
