In her very first appearance at the South American Squash Championships, Nicolette Fernandes collected her fourth straight title since returning to competitive squash in June of this year by claiming the South America crown.
Fernandes came into the tournament as the top ranked player and proved that she was a cut above the rest of the field when she won the title without dropping a game.
In the final she dethroned defending champion Thaisa Serafini of Brazil, 9/5 9/5 9/4, to complete her dominance of the event.
In the men’s category Brazil’s Rafael Alarcon produced an even more dominant display when he put away Argentine Matias Valenzuela 9/1 9/2 9/3 in the final.
Since her return to competitive squash in mid June, Fernandes has gradually increased the level of the tournaments she has competed in.
She started her return by winning the Guyana national title then followed that up a week later by winning the St. Lucian Open.
In late August she also won her third Southern Caribbean accolade in Guyana and now adds her first South American title.
She will return to Guyana shortly to carefully plot her next move as she pursues her ultimate goal of returning to the world stage and better her previous number 29 ranking.
