Finalists Set In
Hobart
The finals are set at the Eastside Open in Hobart, Australia,
with New Zealand’s Temwa Chileshe and Switzerland’s Robin Gadola in the
men’s event, while the Hong Kong duo of Cheng Nga Ching and Ching Hei
Fung will do battle in the women’s final.
All four semi-finals were won in straight games, and New Zealand’s
Chileshe took on Malaysia’s No.9 seed Bryan Lim Tze Kang, and dropped
just four points across the opening two games of the contest. The third
game was much closer, going all the way to a tie-break, but it was the
Kiwi who took the win 14-12, to book his spot in the final.
The second men’s semi-final saw Switzerland’s Robin Gadola and another
New Zealander, in Elijah Thomas, do battle for a place in the final. The
Swiss man won the first 11-9, before then needing to take the second on
a tie-break 13-11. That second game victory kept the momentum in
Gadola’s favour, and he went on to win in three.
Women’s top seed Cheng Nga Ching kept her flawless run in the tournament
going, as she overcame the challenge of No.6 seed Riffat Khan in
straight games. The Hongkonger dropped just seven points throughout the
contest, and did not allow the Pakistani to get into any sort of rhythm
whatsoever, winning 11-4, 11-2, 11-1 in just 13 minutes.
She will now face compatriot and No.3 seed Ching Hei Fung in the final
of the Eastside Open on Sunday afternoon after her fellow Hongkonger
defeated Australia’s No.7 seed Maggy Marshall, also in straight games.
Fung won the first 11-4, and continued to be in control from that point
onwards to win in three to book her spot in the final.
The finals of the 2022 Eastside Open will take place on Sunday,
September 18 at the Eastside Squash Centre in Hobart, Australia, as
Temwa Chileshe and Robin Gadola aim for glory in the men’s event, while
Hong Kong’s Cheng Nga Ching and Ching Hei Fung aim to take the women’s
title home.

Thomas and Marshall
Gatecrash Semis
The quarter finals of the Eastside Open threw up a couple of surprises,
as New Zealand’s Elijah Thomas and Australia’s Maggy Marshall both took
down higher-ranked opposition to reach the last four in Hobart.
Thomas, the No.16 seed in the men’s competition, took on Filipino No.1
Robert Andrew Garcia, and he fell behind early in their quarter final
contest, losing the fist game to the No.4 seed 11-4. He fought back with
a tie-break win in the second, before then taking both the third and
fourth games by an 11-9 scoreline to advance to the last four, where he
will now take on Switzerland’s Robin Gadola.
The other men’s semi-final will see another Kiwi, in No.3 seed Temwa
Chileshe, take on Malaysia’s No.9 seed Bryan Lim Tze Kang, after the
pair came through their respective quarter final matches against Anthony
Lepper and Matthew Lai.
Thee were a couple of surprise results in the women’s Challenger 3 level
draw, with Australia’s Maggy Mahall downing No.2 seed Noor ul Huda on
home soil. The Aussie won in straight games in just 21 minutes, while
No.6 seed Riiffat Khan beat No.4 seed Aiman Shahbaz in an all-Pakistani
four-game battle.
The semi-finals of the Eastside Open will take place on Saturday,
September 17, with the last four in their respective draws aiming to
reach the finals of the Challenger 5 and 3 level competitions.

Lai
Downs Top Seed To Reach Quarters
The second day of the Eastside Open saw the women’s Challenger 3 level
tournament get underway, while the second round of the men’s Challenger
5 level competition also took place, and that is where the surprises
arose.
Hong Kong’s Matthew Lai caused the biggest upset of the day’s play, as
he got the better of the men’s top seed, New Zealand’s Lwamba Chileshe,
in a four-game contest at the Eastside Squash Centre in Hobart,
Australia.
Lai started the first game strongly, and when he took the lead in it, he
did not relinquish that advantage. After taking the first game, he saw
Chileshe fight back, with the Kiwi securing the second game on a
tie-break. However, the Hongkonger then won the third game without
dropping a point, before taking the fourth 11-3 to secure his spot in
the next round.
He will now face Malaysia’s Bryan Lim Tze Kang in the quarter finals,
after the No.9 seed overcame No.5 seed Rhys Dowling in straight games.
The first was comfortable for the Malaysian, but he then had to go deep
into tie-break in game two, eventually taking it 19-17. That broke the
back of the Aussie, with Kang taking the third 11-3 to advance.
Elsewhere, New Zealand’s Elijah Thomas also took down the higher-ranked
Zahir Shah, and he will be joined in the last eight by fellow Kiwis
Temwa Chileshe and Anthony Lepper, with the latter winning his battle
against the unseeded James Lloyd in a fifth game tie-break.
Just three matches took place on the opening day of the women’s
Challenger 3 level tournament in Hobart, with Australian Jennifer Condie
causing a seeding upset, as she beat No.8 seed Maria Kalafatis in
straight games. Pakistan’s Riffat Khan and Australian Maggy Marshall
were the other two winners I the women’s draw on Thursday.
The quarter finals of the Eastside Open will take place on Friday,
September 16 at the Eastside Squash Centre in Hobart, Australia, with
the last eight in both draws aiming to advance to Saturday’s
semi-finals.
