Women’s Squash Tour IV: Esina Claims Second Win In December

December has been a good month for Russia’s Varvara Esina, as she secured her second title of the month in Moscow on Sunday evening, winning the Women’s Squash Tour IV.

The Russian came into the tournament, which was domestically restricted due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as the top seed, and she would go on to win the event without dropping a single game.

She started off with comfortable victories against Olga Esina, wildcard Kiya Kniyaseva and No.4 seed Kseniya Borkova, averaging just 14 minutes per match on court in her run to the final.

In the final, Esina came up against the tournament’s No.2 seed, Varya Kliueva, where her fine form continued. She won in 27 minutes, again doing so in straight games, to take her second title in three weeks.
