Luca Dalla Bona, Aaron Nagy, Amin Khan, Sara
Khan, Ananya Maheshwari, Aparna Maheshwari, Berto Mill and David Mill all won
their first round matches. This was a
big turning event for some of these players as this was the first time they
have been able stay in the main round of a Gold event. However, that also meant even tougher
competition in the next round. Only Amin
and Ananya were able to move on past the first round.
Saturday was a tough day for most of our
juniors, as many of them were knocked out. Come Sunday only Ananya, Amin, Sara, Usman, Hannah,
and David still had matches to play.
Ananya
cruised to another tournament win, barely losing any points. Well done Ananya! Despite having match ball in the ¾ match,
Amin could not hang on in a very close and exciting match. Sara Khan lost in the semis of the
consolation and Usman lost in the consolation finals. Aparna won the consolation of her draw and Hannah
cruised to a Bronze division victory and David won the ¾ match.
Overall, there was definitely an
improvement in our play. Each tournament
our juniors are getting closer to winning against the rest of the province and
everyone is noticing. Windsor usually
brings the biggest contingent to any of these tournaments and people notice how
much our players are improving and supporting each other.
On a side note, many of our parents were
approached by people that came down to our tournament (October, Gold #2) and
they all commented on how it is the best tournament on the calendar and it is
becoming a “must attend” part of the squash season. The other positive thing that everyone
experienced was how friendly people were when they were out in the
community. Well done Windsor!
