07-Aug, Final:
Teran takes the title
at Jericho
Shauna Flath reports
 Mexico's
Samantha Teran won the BC Honda Dealers Open with fast,
precise attacking squash against top seed Jaclyn Hawkes
in the final.
 Jaclyn
couldn't get into the match at all as Samantha, the second
seed, had an answer for everything and was on top of every
ball.
Despite fears that Teran might suffer from tough matches in
the previous two rounds, it seemed to be the lack of hard
matches prior to the final that hurt Jaclyn as she just
couldn't get into the match.
It was short and sweet and congratulations to Samantha for
an outstanding week of squash here at the Jericho Tennis
Club.

05-Aug, Quarters:
Quarters don't disappoint Vancouver
Shauna Flath reports
It started off smoothly with Jaclyn Hawkes and Misaki
Kokayashi clean, controlled and efficient.
Jaclyn put in what she needed and won in style with a 3-0
performance. Misaki played well but Jaclyn’s shot selection
and overall execution sealed the match in a quick 27mins and
definitely has gas in her tank for tomorrow as she has not
yet been fully put to the test.
Latasha Khan and Victoria Lust battled….
First game 18-16 back and forth tight all the way through.
Latasha continued with solid play and so did Victoria but
Latasha pulled through and won the hard long rallies to take
the next 2 games 11-9, 11-8 to win in a long 3 games.
Emma Beddoes - “Beds” - was exceptional tonight….it
has been 4 years since she was last her but her solid
presence on the court and her perseverance showed through.
Heba El Torky the risk taker took some risks and took
the first game but in the end it was the steady play of
“Beds” that was solid in every rally. Different styles from
both players but overall a great match, entertaining and
Emma closed it out in 4.
Then the last match Engy Kheriallah and Samantha Teran
…
First two games were errors off of Engy’s racquet and
Samantha did what she does best just getting the ball back
and waiting for the mistake from Engy. Then the
third…..Samantha hit with Engy in the face with her
racquet….
Engy ...dizzy, took her time and some ice….Karim will
be very proud that she can take a hit to the chin…she’s got
a bruise but nothing serious. Once she regrouped she went
back on the court put in a great effort but Samantha closed
it out in three.
Semi finals will be good tomorrow and everyone is looking
forward to it!

04-Aug, Round One:
Round One in Vancouver
Shauna Flath reports
Another great night here at Jericho on the patio and on
the squash court!
Engy Kheirallah, beautiful player, it is really good to see her on the
court after a absence from tour events since October of last
year. She sealed her match in style with excellent shot
selection and defeated Carolyn Russell in three straight
convincing games.
Misaki Kobayashi and Olivia Blatchford had a battle with back and forth rallies
but Masaki prevailed in four as Olivia is a bit battered and
tired just coming off the World Junior Team Championships.
Heba El Torky and Nayelly Hernandez had a great match as well with Heba showing
her quickness and her fantastic working boast as it proved
to be very effective against Nayelly. Heba is well rested
with finishing the match in 17mins.
Lucie Fialova the hard hitting lefty from put up a fight by
taking the first game from Victoria Lust 13-11 but Lust turned it
around and played a much more tactical game and won the next
three to take the match 3-1.
Latasha Khan was just too strong tonight for Alex
Norman, with great ball
placement and took control in the match to close out all
games to take the match three-nil.
Samantha Teran played solid squash to win over Melanie
Jans in three but not
without a fantastic effort from Canada’s former #1 player.
It was a treat for the fans as Mel played a great week of
squash and we will miss her as her Mark and Ryder are off to
Florida this fall.
Canada’s new #1 Miranda Ranieri played fantastic against Jaclyn
Hawkes and put up a
great fight for three hard games. Jaclyn prevailed and displayed
why she is the #1 seed with an 11-4, 11-8 11-8 performance.
The sun is out, the tournament is full and everyone is
having a fantastic time. We are all looking forward to the
matchups tomorrow!

03-Aug,
Qualifying Finals:
Upsets abound in Vancouver
Shauna Flath reports
Wow what a night for the
last round of qualifying, exciting to say the least. Two
Canadians have made it into the main round, Carolyn
Russell and Melanie Jans, both returning to
action after retiring from the circuit (Russell recently, Jans some years ago).
Carolyn defeated Samantha Cornett in a tough and physical
four games. Melanie played outstanding tactical squash as
she slowed down the pace with Leoni Holt and her patience
and court awareness was definitely evident.
Also coming through in exciting matches were Kristen
Lange, who battled back from being down 2-1 and
finishing off the match with outstanding game 4 and 5
performances against Thaisa Serafini in the longest match of
the night at 58 minutes, and Nayelly Hernandez, who
defeated Stephanie Edmison in another long match with
Nayelly closing it out 14-12 in the fourth.
02-Aug,
Qualifying Round One:
Jans and Russell
relive the old days
It was a good day for the hosts as qualifying got under way
for the 2011 edition of Sun & Surf at Vancouver's Jericho
Club, as four Canadians progressed to the final round of
qualifying.
There were crowd-pleasing wins for former Canadian national
team players Melanie Jans and Carolyn Russell,
both now retired from the circuit (Russell only recently, Jans some years ago), who are joined in the final round by
Samantha Cornett and Stephanie Edmison.
Cornett, the top qualifying seed who received a bye, now
meets Russell while Jans faces England's Leonie Holt for a
place in the main draw.
