Second-seeded Coppinger entered the match having won all three previous tour encounters against eighth-seeded Cuskelly, and made it four on the University of Virginia’s blue and orange glass court, 11-8, 8-11, 11-7, 11-3.

“Very happy with my week in Charlottesville,” Coppinger said afterwards. “Ryan has also been playing great squash and made it very difficult in the final. Thankfully I had a bit more left in the tank and was able to pull away in the end. Huge thanks to all, especially the crazy South Africans, my family included, who stayed up till the early hours to follow on the live streaming”

The 2015 Charlottesville Open was the third edition of the tournament headlining the McArthur Squash Center Festival of Squash. All weekend players from adult, junior, and doubles draws played alongside the professionals on the facility’s eight international singles and two hardball doubles courts.
