Day Three:
TOP MEN CRUISE INTO SEMIS
Ryan Abraham reports
Each of the four men's seeds cruised through their
quarterfinal matches without too much effort and will be
setting up some interesting semi final match-ups.
Ramasra easily disposed of the younger Patrick brother in
clinical fashion, while Wilson ousted the other brother,
Mandela. Both Patrick brothers had earned themselves
quarter-final spots by upsetting the ranks, but they were
humbled by the top guns yesterday in Men's Quarter-Final
action.
The other two quarter-final matches saw #2 Ryan Abraham win
in 3 straight games against Brandon DeMontrichard, and
former Guyanese player, Julian Chin, ousted one of T & T's
top juniors, Chayse McQuan in similar fashion.
Mens 40+ matches also went according to the books as each of
the top 4 seeds have advanced to the semi-finals.
The exciting matches all took place in the Mens Open Plate
as 3 of the 4 matches went to 5.
Ladies quarter-final action begins today with the top 4
seeds taking the court for the first time.

Day Two:
PATRICK BROTHERS JOIN THE BIG GUNS
Ryan Abraham reports
 It
was a great night for upsets as 3 of the qualifiers from
Tuesday night appeared to have fate on their side when they
randomly picked their main draw opponents.
 Two
of these lucky people were none other than the young and
upcoming Patrick brothers. Nku Patrick who was the
2008 Caribbean U13 Champion had avoided being paired up with
any of the top 4 but chose the #5 seed, Peter
Pirtheesingh when he made his pick from the cup.
13-year-old Patrick had already played Pirtheesingh earlier
this year in the T & T Open, but lost that match 3-2. He was
ready for revenge.
However, Pirtheesingh had different plans and the former
National player used his experience to play slow, steady
squash and frustrate the junior player. He won a first close
game 11-9, and then earned a 10-3 lead in the second before
having to stop a Patrick comeback and win the second game
11-8. Patrick seemed like he was lost and ready to succumb
to emotions, but his coach, Ryan Abraham, along with his
father, Raymond, pulled him aside to settle him down.
Whatever was said seemed to be working as Patrick returned
on court for the 3rd game rejuvenated. He quickly raced to
8-3 up and then 10-7 with 3 game balls. But Pirtheesingh
once again found his way back with steady drives and
avoiding unforced errors to earn match ball at 11-10.
Patrick's resolve was still strong though and he fought off
match ball to take the 3rd game 13/11.
The match had only now begun! The 13-year-old was determined
to exact his revenge tonight and in the 4th game led 10-6
before winning 11-9. In the 5th game, he found himself in a
similar position to the 3rd where he cruised to a 8-2 lead,
but Pirtheesingh had more fight left.
Some long rallies ensued and Pirtheesingh fought back to 6-8
before Patrick halted him in his tracks, and with some
determination and fist-pumping the National U-15 champ took
the 5th and final game 11-8 to earn himself a place in the
QuarterFinals.
 Next
on the same court, Nku's older brother, Mandela would
have a hard act to follow. Mandela is the 2009 Caribbean
U-15 champ and National U-17 champion and was set to
face-off against Kevin Ross, former U-19 #2 and last
year's reserve for the T & T Caribbean Champions.
However, the older Patrick brother was more than ready for
the challenge, and Ross, who had not played much squash in
his first year at university in Canada didn't seem to
remember what to do on court. Patrick played with composure
and maturity to cruise to a 3-0 victory taking out the
out-of-form Ross, 11/8, 11/3, 11/8 to join his brother in
the quarter finals.
Nku will now face top seed Colin Ramasra while Mandela plays
T & T's #1 junior, Kale Wilson.
 Brandon
DeMontrichard was the 3rd upset for the night when he
took out #7 seed Luc Davis in 4 games. It was an
affair of long rallies, but De Montrichard had just come out
of a rough patch of squash in his last tournament a week
ago, and appeared to have bounced right back into the form
he had for the T & T Open.
De Montrichard earns himself a quarterfinal bout against #2
seed Ryan Abraham.
Mens 40+ Seeds Stay On Course
There were no upsets in the Mens 40+ category as all top 8
seeds have advanced to the quarter-finals. However, from
here on out there could be some interesting and tricky
match-ups.
Two potentially grueling contests may be seen in the Jackson
vs Smart and Hart vs Mowser matches later today. Jackson and
Hart are both former 40+ champions but could be pushed by
their opponents today.
Top seed Holley is expected to have a relatively comfortable
match against fellow Petrotrin club member, Raymond Patrick
(father of Mandela and Nku), while first-time 40+ entrant
and #2 seed, Mark Laughlin is also expected to get past
Brian Philips to advance to the semis.
But as we all know with this sport, anything can happen!
