English Double
In Swiss Junior Open
Richie
Fallows
and Victoria Temple Murray pulled off an unexpected English double in the
Swiss Junior Open Squash Championships after winning the U19 titles in
the European Squash Federation Junior Circuit event at the Tennis &
Squash Center Sihltal in Zurich.
Top seed
Fallows reached the final as expected - but his opponent Joel Makin, a
9/16 seed from Wales, upset second seed Claudio Pinto and sixth-seeded
Dane Thomas Laursen to reach the climax against expectation.
And the
18-year-old Welshman took the opening game - but favourite Fallows fought back
to clinch the title, winning 9-11, 11-7, 11-7, 11-7 in 59 minutes to add the
Swiss to the Nordic Junior U19 Open trophy he won in October.
The favourite
also reached the women's U19 final - but this time Finn Emilia Soini was
unable to walk away with the title.
The
17-year-old from Espoo faced second seed Victoria Temple Murray - but the
18-year-old from Exeter was too strong, winning 11-6, 11-7, 7-11, 11-5 in 41
minutes to keep the trophy in England hands for the second year in a row.
