Borja Golán (born 6 January 1983 in Santiago de Compostela) is a Spanish retired professional squash player. He reached a career-high world ranking of World No. 5 in April 2014.[1]
In August 2009, in the Colombian Open final, Borja suffered serious injury to his right knee which kept him out of action for six months.[2] He reached the top ten World Ranking the month following the tournament.
About three years later, in 2013, he got back into the top 10. In November, he reached the semi-final of the Qatar Classic, winning in the quarter-final against the seed No. 1 Grégory Gaultier in a tense and controversial match. In December, he was runner-up of the Hong Kong Open, his first PSA World Series final, against Nick Matthew. He announced his retirement in May 2023.[3]
