Gary Waite Tour- Windsor Stop

Award Winners

        The Gary Waite Tour is played once a month throughout the squash season.  Each month it is played in a different location in Southwestern Ontario.  The Gary Waite Tour focuses on "fair play", "inclusion" and "fun".  It is not as competitive as the Silver or Gold events and is a great place for juniors to experience a tournament atmosphere while having fun at the same time.  As the Tour progresses, points are awarded based on participation as well as performance.  In other words, the more events you play, the more points that are available to you.
       The weekend's event was unique since we had many players involved in the Silver event on Saturday, including many from out of town that opted to stay for both events.  Despite a full day of squash on Saturday, the juniors showed no signs of fatigue, something that many adults envied.

Khan/Nagy Final

       The final was a repeat of Saturday's Silver final between Aaron Nagy and Amin Khan.  Both finals could have gone to either player and on Saturday Amin came out on top.  However, on Sunday Amin could not close out the match when he had the opportunity and allowed Aaron take the match.
      The 11-13 final featured a Groundhog Day match (as in it seems to happen all the time) between Luca Dalla Bona and Phil Dimitrov.  These two seem to battle it out in every tournament and always bring out the best in each other.  However, today Luca could not keep up with Phil's deft shot-making and surrendered the match to Phil.

    The 10 and Under division played a round robin and Ananya Maheshwari came out on top.  Her drop shot and her retrieving ability was just too much for the others.
      Many comments were made about the quality of play and sportsmanship that was evident all weekend.  All photos from all weekend events can be found here.  Follow the juniors on twitter (@wsfjuniorsquash) or on Facebook (wsfjuniorsquash).
