Henrik Mustonen & Low Wee Nee Celebrate Dutch
Junior Success
A week after winning the Pioneer
Junior U19 Open titles in Germany, Finland's Henrik Mustonen
and Malaysian Low Wee Nee were reunited on the winners'
podiums of the Dutch Junior Open Squash Championships after
securing the U19 trophies in the latest European Squash
Federation Junior Circuit event at the Frans Otten Stadion
in the Netherlands' capital Amsterdam.
For Mustonen, the 18-year-old top
seed, it was his second successive unexpected clash with Englishman
Charles Sharpes in the men's final. Sharpes, a 5/8 seed from
London, had reached the final after a semi-final win over Nick
Sachvie, the Canadian who had upset second-seeded Frenchman
Lucas Serme in the previous round.
But again Mustonen was too strong
for the younger Englishman - beating 17-year-old Sharpes 12-10,
11-3, 11-4 to win his third ESF Junior Circuit title in a row.
Low Wee Nee came through the women's
U19 field as a 3/4 seed - making the final after overcoming
compatriot Tan Yan Xin, a 5/8 seed who had earlier ousted
England's top seed Kimberley Hay.
The 17-year-old from Penang's
opponent in the final was also the same surprise candidate she faced
in the Pioneer climax. In the other semi, 5/8 seed Catalina
Pelaez had beaten France's Faustine Gilles, a 9/16 seed
responsible for the earlier removal of local star Milou van der
Heijden, the No2 seed.
Again it took four games to resolve
the final - but Low Wee Nee celebrated her second successive triumph
over the Colombian to win 11-5, 9-11, 11-4, 13-11.
The victory marks the return of the
women's trophy to the Low family after older sister Low Wee Wern
triumphed in the Amsterdam event in 2007. |
