Mazen Sabri of Egypt and Camilla Tomlinson of Britain wont the men's and women's singles title in the World University Squash Championship at the Indian Squash Academy here today.

Olga gave in to the resilient British girl, who won 11-8 11-6 11-1.

An elated Camilla said: "I must say this is one of my biggest wins. This is a world level title. I am truly happy."

In the men's final, the two Egyptians gave a glimpse of the high-quality squash. Both played with immense concentration. Where Mazen was different was his ability to hit the ball where he wanted, just above the tin and with consistency. Be it in the drops or the forehand blasts, Mazen virtually had his opponent skidding and gliding to great lengths.
 

"I am familiar with Zahed's game and that helped," said Mazen in the end as he rose to take the gold medal in just 35 minutes. The final scoreline was 11-8 11-9 11-6.

The team events gets underway tomorrow.
