The Kiwi was run to all conrners of the court as Asal controlled the points for an 11-5 first set. .
Coll, who was runner-up at the 2019 World Championships, tried to push up the court in the second but Asal once again managed to dictate the pace with quality squash.
Asal remarkably only made one error and hit 16 winners from the opening two games, and his immense defensive work in the third was rewarded by taking the game 11-4 and booking his place in the final.
Coll's next tournament is the British Open in Birmingham May 27 - June 8. which he won in 2021 and 2022.
