British Junior Open 2007

Day 3

Waller & Lee Keep British Junior Open Home Hopes Alive

England junior internationals Adrian Waller and Joe Lee kept home hopes of success in the Tecnifibre British Junior Open Squash Championships alive by making it through to the semi-finals of the Men's U19 event for the Drysdale Cup in Sheffield.

Waller, the reigning British Junior National champion from Enfield, twice had to come from behind to overcome Hong Kong's 9/16 seed Leo Au 8-10, 9-6, 2-9, 9-6, 9-3 in a 94-minute marathon. Seeded 3/4, Waller now faces Egypt's event favourite Mohamed El Shorbagy who beat compatriot Andrew Wagih Shoukry 9-7, 9-5, 9-5.

Lee defied his seeding to upset 3/4 seed Rudi Willemse 9-2, 9-3, 9-3 in 33 minutes - impressively avenging his defeat by the South African in the second round of the event twelve months ago. The 18-year-old from Surrey now faces fellow 5/8 seed Gregoire Marche, from France, for a place in the final.

Domestic interest in the Women's U19 event expired when Bedfordshire's Victoria Lust crashed out to Germany's Sina Wall. The 18-year-old 3/4 seed from Maulden twice led, but was unable to stop her lower-seeded opponent from recording a 4-9, 9-4, 2-9, 9-2, 9-7 upset in 46 minutes.

Surrey's David Wardle, a 14-year-old from Woking seeded to reach the final of the Men's U15 event, reached the quarter-finals after beating compatriot Niall Engerer, from Essex, 9-2, 8-10, 10-8, 9-0.
