Lowri Roberts and Omar Azzam won the Bee Squash Expression Open titles in Springfield, Virginia. Roberts defeated sixteen-year-old Akaisha Bhatia in straight games for her biggest career title, while unseeded Azzam beat fellow Egyptian Abdelrehman Nassar in four games to claim his first PSA trophy.
Bhatia had not previously won a Challenger match before reaching the final in her eighth event. Azzam, a Harvard student, completed his breakthrough after defeating Maddox Moxham in the semifinal.
The same Challenger roundup reported victories for Noah Meredith and Jana Safy in Purley. Meredith outlasted Jared Carter in a 106-minute five-game final, while Safy recovered from losing the opening game against Erisa Sano Herring to win in four.
