Calgary Squash Week Preview
The final event on the Challenger Tour this week will be the Calgary
CFO Consulting Services PSA Women’s Squash Week, which will take
place from Wednesday, March 2 to Sunday, March 6.
The Challenger 20 level tournament is the biggest of the week on the
Tour, and will feature ten different nationalities across the
24-strong women’s draw, and with a home favourite leading the way.
The top seed for the tournament will be World No.20 Danielle
Letourneau, who will be aiming to defend the title that she won two
years ago, the last time the event was held.
Australia’s Donna Lobban, Dutch No.1 Milou van der Heijden and
Frenchwoman Marie Stephan are among the top eight seeds, alongside
the Hong Kong quartet of Tze Lok Ho, Liu Tsz-Ling, Tsz-Wing Tong and
Ka Yi Lee.
There will also be a strong British presence at the tournament, with
England’s Lily Taylor, Lucy Beecroft, Grace Gear and Millie
Tomlinson all in action, along with the Scottish duo of Georgia
Adderley and Katriona Allen, who will meet in the first round in
Calgary.
Top seed Letourneau will be joined by three other Canadian’s in the
draw, including Nikki Todd and wildcard Jana Dweek. Hannah Blatt
will be the other home hope in action, and we caught up with her
prior to the event starting. She featured in the same tournament in
2019, but admits that is now more committed than she was back then.
“My last PSA event in Calgary was about three years ago when I
wasn’t committed to playing professionally and I was just starting
off college in Philadelphia,” she explained.
“It was a great experience playing against the high ranked players
and now being able to play professionally full time and travel to
all these tournaments is such a gift.”
The Canadian, who turned 22 at the start of the year, will be
unseeded for the event, and is going into the tournament without
expectations. She will face Tessa ter Sluis in the opening round of
the competition, and she wants to showcase her abilities on court.
“I am going into this tournament with no expectations on results,
but rather to use it to learn and help progress my game,” Blatt
admitted.
“I know it won’t be easy matches but I’ve been putting in a lot of
training and know it will pay off! I want to show the other girls
that I am right there with them and that I will fight for every
point.”
The event takes place from Wednesday, March 2 to Sunday, March 6 at
the Calgary Winter Club.
