Top seed tumbles in B19 ...
Arnold van der Hars reports
At the Frans Otten Stadium in Amsterdam we had day three
of the Dutch Junior Open 2010. The day ended with a big BBQ
in the garden.
Before we could even think about the BBQ, we had an upset in
the boys under 19 category. In the semi final between the
two Egyptian compatriots, we have seen some good squash,
lovely touches and a big mental game. Number one seed
Karim Ali Fathy lost the first game 11-5, probably the
nerves. He lost those nerves in the second: 9-11. The third
games was for Moustafa Bayoumy (3/4) again and the
fourth went to Karim. The decisive game took a while and
after a total of 63 minutes of squash, the top seed was
tumbled: 11-6 to Moustafa.
The other semi final was on the glass court also between
local hero Rick Penders (3/4) and Englishman
Robert Downer (2). Unfortunately for the Dutchman, he
couldn't reach his normal level due to a minor injury.
Robert Downer showed no mercy and went in straight games to
the final: 11-6 11-9 11-4.
An all English final in the girls under 19 will be played on
Finals Day. Both girls had lost no game on their route to
the final. Top seed Millie Tomlinson had some trouble with
Tesni Evans (5/8) from Wales: 11-7 11-5 11-7.
Emily Whitlock, second seed, had also a good warm up for the
final against Columbian Catalina Pelaez (3/4): 11-8 11-3
11-8.

Day one at the Dutch Junior Open 2010 is finished, h hot and

Egypt in straight games, Konrad Tyma from Poland (9/16) lost
to Taylor Tutrone also in straight games, and home
player Marc ter Sluis created the third upset by
beating Sebastia Munar Palmer (9/16) from Spain in five.

Rick Penders and Moustafa Bayoumy made it comfortably to
the last 16.
