Pakistan Reclaim World Championship Title In
Zurich
It was a case of double
revenge for Pakistan in the final of the World Junior Men's Team
Championship in Zurich, the biennial World Squash
Federation championship being held for the first time in Switzerland.
The
second seeds not only beat defending champions Egypt to avenge
their loss in the previous final in 2006, but squad number one Aamir Atlas
Khan led his country to victory by defeating new world champion
Mohamed El Shorbagy to reverse the result of the earlier
individual final.
It
was the two nations' third successive meeting in the final - and Pakistan made a
perfect start when 18-year-old Aamir Atlas Khan, the favourite to win last
week's individual world crown, recovered from a game down to beat rival El
Shorbagy 7-9, 9-2, 9-1, 9-1 in 48 minutes.
It
took a further 64 minutes for Pakistan to win the title - squad number three
Mohd Shoaib Hassan, from Lahore, grinding out a 9-5, 9-6, 9-2 win over
Egypt's Karim Abdel Gawad to clinch their upset over the event
favourites.
The
2/0 win negated the need to play the third rubber, in which Waqar Mehboob,
the Pakistan second string, was due to face Andrew Wagih Shoukry.
With
previous title wins in 1982, 2002 and 2004, Pakistan are now celebrating their
fourth Men's World Junior Team success - equalling the achievement of
England (1990, 1996, 1998 and 2000) but one behind Australia (1980, 1984, 1986,
1988 and 1992).
The
battle for bronze saw third seeds England take on surprise opponents
India, the fifth seeds who had reached the semi-finals for the first time in
their history. An upset seemed on the cards when Vikram Malhotra, the
Indian number one from Mumbai, beat British Junior champion Joe Lee 9-6,
9-0, 0-9, 9-3.
But
it took 70 minutes for order to be restored when England's third string Alex
Ingham defeated Chennai-based 16-year-old Ravi Dixit 4-9, 9-3, 9-2,
9-6. Adrian Waller then made sure of a third-place finish for England -
making up for their lowest-ever fourth place in 2006 - when he despatched
Aditya Jagtap 9-0, 9-4, 9-4 in just 20 minutes.
Seventh seeds Germany won the play-off for fifth place, beating sixth
seeds Malaysia 2/1 to record their best finish since 1988!
And
in the seventh place play-off, tenth seeds Canada fought back from a
match behind to upset fourth seeds France to end a four-event sequence of
eighth-place finishes!
Local hero Nicolas Mueller claimed his sixth successive individual win in
the team championship for Switzerland - this time beating South
African Thoboki Mohohlo in straight games - but the hosts lost 2/1 to
South Africa in the play-off for 13th place.
Czech Republic
achieved the best finish of the four countries making their debut in the
championships by beating Spain in the play-off for 19th place.
Guatemala and Ecuador took 24th and 25th places, respectively, while
fellow newcomers China - fielding a squad of 15 and 16-year-olds - ended
in 31st place.
Egypt & Pakistan To Contest World Championship Final In Zurich
Favourites Egypt,
the defending champions, and second seeds Pakistan will line-up
for the final of the World Junior Men's Team Championship in Zurich
- their second successive meeting in the climax - after comfortable semi-final
wins in the biennial World Squash Federation championship being held for
the first time in Switzerland.
But
Egypt started off on the back foot against third seeds England when
Adrian Waller battled for 90 minutes for the underdogs - twice coming from
behind to beat Egyptian Andrew Wagih Shoukry 4-9, 9-6, 6-9, 9-6, 10-8 to
put the former champions ahead.
Egypt soon recovered from the setback of their first match loss in the event
when new world champion Mohamed El Shorbagy beat England number one
Joe Lee 9-7, 9-6, 9-4 in 45 minutes to draw level.
The
decider was an equally fiercely-fought encounter - but Amr Khaled Khalifa
was ultimately too strong for Alex Ingham, beating the youngest member of
the England squad 9-6, 9-6, 9-3 in 58 minutes to put Egypt back into the final
for the third time in a row.
After the elation of reaching the semi-finals for the first time in history,
fifth seeds India were brought down to earth by second seeds Pakistan
- losing 3/0 to their Asian rivals. Waqar Mehboob put 2006 runners-up
Pakistan ahead with a 9-0, 7-9, 10-8, 9-0 victory over Aditya Jagtap -
and world individual championship runner-up Aamir Atlas Khan sealed
victory for the second seeds by overcoming fellow top string Vikram Malhotra
9-0, 9-3, 9-0.
In
the best-of-three-games third match, Mohd Shoaib Hassan made it 3/0 by
beating Ravi Dixit 9-1, 9-0.
In
the 5th-8th place play-offs, seventh seeds Germany upset France,
the fourth seeds, 2/1 to set up a play-off for fifth place against Malaysia,
the sixth seeds who beat tenth seeds Canada 2/1.
India Celebrate World Championship Breakthrough In Zurich
India
gate-crashed the semi-finals of the World Junior Men's Team Championship
in Zurich after a stunning quarter-final victory over fourth seeds
France in the biennial World Squash Federation championship being
held for the first time in Switzerland.
The fifth seeds made the last eight after a 2/1 win over Australia, the
11th seeds, in the last sixteen round - 16-year-old Ravi Dixit winning
the deciding match with a 9-2, 9-1, 9-0 victory over Joshua Larkin.
And it was the Chennai teenager who clinched India's historic maiden appearance
in the semi-finals in the decider against France.
France went ahead when Gregoire Marche, a quarter-finalist in last week's
individual championship, recovered from a game down to beat Vikram Malhotra,
the Indian number one, 1-9, 9-4, 9-0, 9-1.
Having lost previously to Frenchman Lucas Vauzelle, India's second string
Aditya Jagtap faced an uphill task in the next match. But the
16-year-old from Mumbai looked determined and played aggressive squash to give
his opponent little chance to take the advantage. Jagtap oozed confidence as he
had his opponent scrambling all over the court before winning 9-6, 9-2, 9-5 to
level the tie.
The decider was a cliff hanger: Dixit started off nervously against Antoine
Petrucci and was soon 0/2 down in games and 2-5 down in the third. But, in
a remarkable comeback, the Indian number three overcame the deficit before
rallying to an 8-10, 2-9, 9-7, 9-1, 9-2 victory after 77 minutes to take India
into the semis for the first time in its history.
Major Maniam,
Consultant Coach to the Squash Rackets Federation of India said: "It was
an absolutely outstanding show by three players who believed in themselves - and
we can now dare to dream to lift the title in two years' time!"
India will face Asian rivals Pakistan, the second seeds who beat
Germany, the No7 seeds, 3/0.
The other semi-final will see defending champions Egypt take on third
seeds England in a repeat of the 2006 semi-final. Top seeds Egypt, led
by the new world champion Mohamed El Shorbagy, despatched tenth
seeds Canada 3/0, while former champions England fought back from a match
down to beat Malaysia, the No6 seeds, 2/1.
New Zealand & Finland Produce Surprises In Zurich
After a full day of final
qualifying action in the World Junior Men's Team Championship in
Zurich, New Zealand and Finland emerged as the only nations to
produce upsets on the second day of the biennial World Squash Federation
championship being held for the first time in Switzerland.
After beating event debutantes China 3/0 in the opening tie of the
day, ninth seeds New Zealand faced Hong Kong, the eighth seeds, in the
decider in Pool H. Cameron Jamieson got the Kiwi team off to a winning
start, outlasting Fung Ji Yang 5-9, 9-1, 4-9, 9-6, 2-5, with the Hong
Kong player forced to retire with cramp after 73 minutes on court.
However, Leo Au levelled the tie for the Asian side, handing the New
Zealand number one Evan Williams his first defeat of the teams event,
with a 9-3, 10-9, 9-5 victory in 50 minutes.
That left Alex Grayson the task of winning the tie for New Zealand, which
he duly achieved with a 9-3, 9-3, 9-4 victory over Nelson Chan in the
battle of the number threes.
In the last sixteen round knockout stage, New Zealand now face tenth seeds
Canada for a place in the quarter-finals.
Finland, seeded in the 17/24 group, are now sure of a top 16 finish after
upsetting 16th seeds Wales in the final encounter in Pool A. While pool
favourites Egypt, the title-holders, made sure of qualification by
beating Ecuador 3/0 to top the pool table, Finland fought back from a
match down to beat Wales 2/1 to claim second place.
Welsh hopes were high when squad number three Sam Fenwick beat Joonas
Honkanen 9-6, 9-7, 2-9, 9-4 in the opening match. But the Finnish top
string Henrik Mustonen struck back to beat Hywel Robinson 9-3,
9-1, 9-5, before Ville Hiltunen sealed victory for the underdogs with a
10-8, 9-4, 10-9 win over David Haley.
Finland now face second seeds Pakistan in the last sixteen round
after the 2006 runners-up coasted to victory in Pool B with comprehensive 3/0
wins over both Kuwait and Bermuda.
