Nielsen & Evans Win Swiss Junior Open Titles
The top two seeds contested both U19 finals in
the 2009 Cool & Clean Swiss Junior Open Squash Championships - but
enjoyed mixed successes in the European Squash Federation Junior Circuit
event in Langnau am Albis in Switzerland.
Women's favourite Tesni Evans took out
local player Agapi Kazamia, a 5/8 seed, in the semi-finals before meeting
France's second seed Cyrielle Peltier in the final.
Peltier, 17, was celebrating her second
successive appearance in the Swiss final - but for the second year finished as
runner-up as 17-year-old Welsh star Evans battled to an 11-8, 7-11, 11-7, 12-10
victory to record her first ESF title success.
England's Robert Downer, the top seed in
the men's U19 event, was marking his third appearance in an ESF circuit event
final in two months. But again the 17-year-old from Hampshire finished in
second place as second-seeded Dane Caspar Grauballe Nielsen fought back
from a game down to upset Downer 11-13, 11-5, 11-4, 7-11, 11-4.
The 18-year-old from Brondby was celebrating his
maiden U19 ESF circuit title just weeks before reaching his 19th birthday.
