Eleven Egyptians Advance as Britons Lead Upsets In World Junior Championships In Poland by Howard Harding
July 17, 2013
- After two rounds of men's action in the WSF World Junior Squash
Championships today in the Polish city of Wroclaw, unseeded Britons
Angus Gillams, Lyell Fuller and Joel Makin joined Egyptian Omar Elatmas
in securing unexpected places in the last 16 round at the new 20-court
Hasta La Vista Club.
Englishman Gillams, a
17-year-old from Hertfordshire, survived his second five-game match of
the day by upsetting Switzerland's 9/16 seed Robin Gadola 4-11, 13-11,
11-3, 11-13, 11-5.
Fuller, a 17-year-old
Englishman from Devon, followed a five-game win over senior US
international Dylan Murray by taking out 18-year-old Indian Rishi
Tandon 11-4, 11-5, 12-14, 11-7.
Elatmas took four
games to see off Israeli 9/16 seed Daniel Poleshchuk 11-7, 10-12, 11-8,
11-3. The 17-year-old now faces second-seeded compatriot Karim Ayman
Elhammamy, who defeated Argentina's Federico Cioffi 11-6, 11-7, 11-4.
Top seed Fares Mohamed Dessouki also had a straightforward win, beating Swiss opponent Remo Handl 11-2, 11-4, 11-2.
There were no notable
surprises in today's second round of the women's event. Egyptian
favourite Nour El Sherbini brushed aside Belgium's Tinne Gilis 11-7,
11-8, 11-3.
There was better news
for the Gilis family, however, when Nele Gilis - a 5/8 seed - beat
Canadian Alison Richmond 11-5, 11-1, 11-6 to claim her anticipated
place in the third round.
France's 17-year-old
Marie Stephan gave herself a confidence-boosting place in the next
round when she defeated Sue Ann Yong 11-4, 11-8, 14-12 - avenging her
defeat to the 18-year-old Malaysian in last week's Dutch Junior Open
final in Amsterdam!
