Tecnifibre British Junior Open
2nd-6th January 2008

Day 1 and 2


European Champion Ousted In Major British Junior Open Upset

While domestic hopes ride high after two days' play in the Tecnifibre British Junior Open Squash Championships, Switzerland's European Junior champion Nicolas Mueller crashed out at the last sixteen stage of the Men's U19 event in a major upset in the world's most prestigious junior squash championships which has attracted more than 450 players from 34 countries to the Yorkshire city of Sheffield.

After winning six European Squash Federation Junior Circuit titles in 2007, 18-year-old Mueller was seeded to reach the Drysdale Cup final.  But, in a repeat of their British Junior U13 Open quarter-final clash six years ago, Egypt's Wael Farag despatched the second seed 10-9, 9-4, 9-1 in 42 minutes to claim an unexpected place in the quarter-finals.

Englishmen Adrian Waller and Joe Lee were in sparkling form as they romped into the last eight of the U19 championship.  British Junior National champion Waller, the 18-year-old 3/4 seed from Enfield, defeated Denmark's 9/16 seed Kristian Frost Olesen 9-3, 3-9, 9-1, 9-4, while Lee, a 5/8 seed from Surrey and a former British Junior U17 Open runner-up, needed 64 minutes to get the better of India's 9/16 seed Harinder Pal Sandhu in a 10-8, 9-7, 9-2 scoreline.

The top eight seeds have claimed places in the quarter-finals of the women's U19 event - with English interest being led by Bedfordshire's 3/4 seed Victoria Lust who beat Natalie Pritchard, a 9/16 seed from Wales, 9-1, 1-9, 9-2, 10-8. 

In the most dramatic - and certainly the longest - third round match in the women's championship, England's Sarah-Jane Perry looked on course to produce a significant upset when she led Egypt's 5/8 seed Nour Bahgat by two games.  But the lower-seeded 17-year-old from Kenilworth in Warwickshire was unable to maintain her advantage as 18-year-old Bahgat stormed back to win 5-9, 3-9, 9-2, 9-1, 9-6 in 75 minutes. 

Surrey's David Wardle, seeded to reach the final of the Men's U15 event, comfortably claimed his place in the last sixteen.  The 14-year-old from Woking eased to a 9-2, 4-9, 9-2, 9-2 victory over Egypt's Moustafa Bayoumy, and will now face compatriot Niall Engerer, from Essex, for a place in the quarter-finals.

British Junior Open Promises To Be Most Competitive Yet

 

While 2008 promises to be a great year for squash in the UK, with the staging of the HI-TEC World Squash Championships at Manchester’s National Squash Centre in October, the year gets off to a flying start when 450 of the world's finest players from 34 countries converge on Sheffield, from 2-6 January, for the prestigious Tecnifibre British Junior Open.

 

England Squash looks forward to the development of a successful and fruitful partnership with Tecnifibre, the brand which has signed up to be title sponsors of the event for the next three years.

 

Over recent years Egypt have been supremely dominant and have claimed six of the eight titles in each of the last two seasons.  No1 seed for the Boys' Under 19 Drysdale Cup is the reigning Under 17 champion Mohamed El Shorbagy, who has been making impressive inroads on the PSA Tour over recent months.  His main challengers will include South Africa’s Rudi Willemse, Nicolas Mueller from Germany, and the English duo of Adrian Waller (Hertfordshire) and former Under 17 finalist Joe Lee (Surrey).

 

France’s Camille Serme is hot favourite to take the Girls' Under 19 crown.  The 18-year-old two-time European Junior Champion and World Junior Championship runner-up will be looking to go one better than last year and cement her place as the world’s top junior.  No2 seed is Hong Kong’s Annie Au, while three times British National Champion Victoria Lust (Bedfordshire) and Low Wee Wern from Malaysia complete the top four seedings.

 

American Olivia Blatchford, now resident at Pontefract Squash Club, returns with her sights firmly set on retaining the Under 15 title she won last January.

 

Other English chances are spearheaded by National Champions Kimberley Hay (Northumbria) in the Under 17s, and Peter Joyce (Avon) in the Under 13s - while David Wardle (Surrey) is highly-rated and starts as the Under 15 number 2 seed.

 

The championships take place at Hallamshire and Abbeydale Squash Clubs from 2-6 January – with the finals being held at Abbeydale on the club's state-of-the-art all-glass court.
