Mueller & Nassar Win Dutch Junior
Open Titles In Amsterdam
Switzerland's
Nicolas Mueller and Egypt's Salma Nassar secured the final
European Squash Federation Junior Circuit U19 titles of the season
with victories in the finals of the Dutch Junior Open Squash Championships
at the Frans Otten Stadion in
Amsterdam.
It was a highly satisfying
conclusion to a glittering run on the ESF Junior circuit for Mueller who claimed
the flagship European Junior Championship crown last year and collected
his fourth circuit title this season at the Pioneer Junior Open in
Germany only last week.
The 18-year-old defending
champion from Hirzel, near
Zurich, swept through to the
Dutch final after only dropping a single game - then faced Henrik Mustonen,
the second seed from Finland.
But the Hollola-born 17-year-old
was no match for Mueller who surged to a 9-0, 9-3, 9-5 victory to win the title
for the second year in a row.
Salma Nassar reached her maiden
ESF circuit final after upsetting
England's top seed Kimberley
Hay 9-5, 6-9, 9-6, 9-4 in the semi-finals.
And the 16-year-old from
Cairo went one better in the
final when she beat the second seed Olivia Blatchford, from the USA, 9-4,
10-8, 5-9, 9-2 to claim her first European junior trophy.
