9th Qatar Classic Squash Championship - Doha: Jenny Duncalf scored the biggest ever win of her career

Jenny Duncalf, followed her second upset in two weeks over Malaysia's world number one Nicol David yesterday, to crush Australia's world No4 Rachael Grinham in the climax of the $74,000 WISPA World Tour championship.

Indeed, it took 27-year-old Duncalf, the world No6 from Harrogate, only 23 minutes to despatch Grinham 11-5, 11-3, 11-3.

The stunning victory brings Duncalf's tally of Tour wins this month to three – following the Soho Square Championship success in Egypt on the first of the month, and her triumph in the US Open in New York just seven days later.

Winner of the British National Championship at the beginning of the year, Duncalf has enjoyed a remarkably consistent run on the WISPA Tour since last year's appearance in the Qatar Classic in October 2008, reaching at least the quarter-finals in the 16 events since.

Tecnifibre player Henrik Mustonen Marks Maiden Tour Title At Austrian Open

Truly deserving of the title 'Flying Finn', qualifier Henrik Mustonen raced through the field of the Austrian Open in Vienna to win his maiden PSA World Tour title at the $6,000 Super Satellite event at the Manhatten Squash Club.

 

The 18-year-old from Hollola, near Lahti in Finland, pulled off a succession of upsets after surviving two rounds of qualifying - his most notable scalp being third-seeded Dutchman Dylan Bennett in the quarter-finals.

 

His opponent in today's final was Alan Clyne, the fifth seed from Scotland who made his breakthrough after despatching second-seeded Welshman Rob Sutherland in the quarter-finals.

 

But there was no stopping Mustonen - the youngest player in the event - in the final as the teenager defeated Clyne 12-10, 11-5, 11-9 in 44 minutes.

 

The match marked Mustonen's second appearance in a Tour final, but his first title triumph.

Squash fan in Korea.

Dear TF squash fans,

I wanted absolutely to show you an incredible Squash specialist from Seoul, that I met during my Tour in Korea this week, Youngsan Sports. South Korean shops are very famous for proposing so many brands and so many products on shelves, but this shop can be considered as a strong squash specialist, representing alone about 10% of global Korean market. (see pictures). Naturally you will find in this shop also numerous Tecnifibre Squash products. Among them also now TF tennis strings, since this shop is enlarging its activities to tennis. 

If you need a specific advise, ask Jim and say you come from me. I am sure you will find the right product there. Hopefully a TF one ! ;-))

World Junior Squash championships 2009 - El Shorbagy and El Sherbini lead a 100% TECNIFIBRE success

Tecnifibre players M. El Shorbagy and N. El Sherbini are the 2 Junior world champions 2009. A big success for Tecnifibre again.

Mohamed El Shorbagy is still the champ. The Egyptian world n°17 beat Ivan Yuen in straight games, fending off a strong challenge from the Malaysian second seed before storming through the 3rd game to retain the title he won in Zurich last year.

History was made when Nour El Sherbini came from a game down to beat compatriot Nour El Tayeb, becoming the youngest junior girl's world champion, beating Nicol's record by well over 2 years...

M. El Shorbagy and N. El Tayeb are both playing with new Carboflex 130 racket, the new perfect weapon for players who are looking for a more manoeuvrable and nervous racket.

Tecnifibre players Dipika Pallikal and Mohamed El Shorbagy are top world junior seeds

India's Dipika Pallikal and Egyptian Mohamed El Shorbagy have been named as top seeds for next month's World Junior Squash Championships, the World Squash Federation event which has attracted players from 28 nations to the ICL Squash Academy in Chennai, India, from 29 July to 2 August.

Born and raised in Chennai, Dipika Pallikal is seeded to become India's first ever world squash champion.  Already ranked inside the women's world's top 50, 17-year-old Pallikal has established a significant junior career, winning the British Junior U17 Open title in 2008 and reaching the final in both the British Junior U19 Open and Asian Junior Championship earlier this year.

 

Title-holder Mohamed El Shorbagy has the chance to become only the second player in history to win the men's crown twice.  The 18-year-old favourite from Alexandria has already enjoyed a meteoric run in the sport - and boasts a senior world top 20 ranking following notable success on the PSA World Tour which has included final berths in the recent Spanish Open and Irish Open and a quarter-final finish in last year's World Open in his maiden appearance in the sport's premier championship.

El Shorbagy's predicted final opponent is Malaysian Ivan Yuen.  Winner of the recent Asian Junior Championship title, also in Chennai, the second seed from Selangor made his debut in the world's top 100 in May.
