It was a great weekend of squash as our juniors continued to improve at these events. On Friday night, our juniors played very tough and were losing in 5 games to players that beat them in 3 or 4 games in the past. A number of opponents and parents commented on how much improvement our players have made in just a couple of months.
Saturday saw some incredibly intense squash. Berto Mill was typical Berto, diving all over the court and making his opponents suffer with his incredible retrieving. He also had the rally of the weekend that saw him dive, play his next shot from his bum and get up to win the rally. Maanav made an incredible comeback after being down 7-0 in game 5 to win his match. Mackenzie made every rally tough on her opponents. Vishaal had some incredibly long rallies with the top seeded player in his division. Natasha Pensler, playing up a division, played a great match in beating one on the tougher players in her draw. Luca Dalla Bona played by far some of the best squash he has ever played. He played a smart game and worked his opponents all over the court and clearly has jumped to the next level. Come Sunday, Ananya, Hannah, Vishaal, Maanav, David, Natasha, Gabe, Riley were all still playing. At the end of the day, Hannah won the Bronze division and David won the consolation. Ananya won her 3rd Gold tournament. Ananya continued her dominance despite making a concerted effort to transition to one-handed play. She looks stronger than ever!
