WORLD WOMEN'S JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS 2011:
Head Coach Jack Wyant Handicaps The US Players’ First Round Matches
special to DailySquashReport.com
Qualifiers:
Lakshya Ragavendran (Ind) v Julienne Chu (Usa)
ANY TIME ONE PLAYS AN INDIAN NATIONAL TEAM PLAYER IT IS GOING TO BE TOUGH.
THEY ARE AN EXPERIENCED SQUAD THAT IS COMFORTABLE IN ALL FOUR CORNERS OF THE COURT.
JULIANNE WILL HAVE TO PLAY HER VERY BEST SQUASH TO EARN A
VICTORY.
Marie Stephan (Fra) v Maria Elena Ubina (Usa)
FRANCE IS TYPICALLY VERY DEEP. THEIR FEDERATION HAS BEEN EXCELLENT AT DEVELOPING PLAYERS IN RECENT YEARS.
MARIA ELENA HAS HAD A VERY STRONG SUMMER WITH TOP FIVE FINISHES ATTHE PIONEER AND DUTCH.
SO WE ARE HOPEFUL SHE WILL CONTINUE THAT RUN OF SUCCESS.
Main Draw Matches:
[9/16] Anaka Alankamony (Ind) v Olivia Fiechter (Usa)
ANAKA IS VERY TOUGH. SHE PERFORMED BRILLIANTLY AT THE WORLD'S LAST SUMMER TO EARN A QUARTERFINAL BERTH.
OLIVIA IS A YOUNG BUT VERY SAVVY PLAYER WHO PLAYS LIKE AN EXPERIENCED PRO.
SHE WILL BE AN INVALUABLE MEMBER OF US TEAMS IN THE YEARS TO COME AND WILL GIVE ANAKA ALL SHE CAN HANDLE.
Mireya Lucia Espinosa Proano (Ecu) v Haley Mendez (Usa)
HALEY HAS MADE TREMENDOUS STRIDES THIS SPRING AND WE EXPECT SHE WILL PERFORM WELL IN BOTH THE INDIVIDUAL AND TEAM EVENT.
[3/4] Olivia Blatchford (Usa) v Q1 (Lakshya Ragavendran (Ind) or
Julienne Chu (Usa) )
OLIVIA BLATCHFORD IS IN THE BEST SHAPE OF HER LIFE AND WE EXPECT SHE, IN HER 3RD WORLD JUNIORS, WILL SHINE.
Sabrina Sobhy (Usa) v Q6 (Annika Wiese (Ger) or Alexandra Fuller (Rsa)
SABRINA HAS BURST ON TO THE US SQUASH SCENE, FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HER VERY TALENTED SISTER, THIS SEASON.
ONLY 14 YEARS OLD, SHE PLAYS WITH THE MATURITY OF AN ADULT AND ISN'T INTIMIDATED BY PLAYERS WITH INTERNATIONAL PEDIGREE.
THAT SAID, SHE IS AWARE THAT ALL THE GIRLS IN THIS DRAW ARE WELL SCHOOLED AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO BEAT ANYONE ON THEIR DAY.
Mikaela Albuja Sanchez (Ecu) v [2] Amanda Sobhy (Usa)
AMANDA IS IN GREAT FORM. SHE WILL WIN.
