 The
Crowd were enthralled by the quality of squash for this
evening’s finals.

two seeds. The Aussie battled hard but fell short of claiming
the title, with Vanessa taking the match 3-2.

matches.

Vanessa Chu have progressed through, Vanessa fought hard to
come from 0-2 down to take it in five while Christine made it
three three-nil wins so far.
The Men’s Semi Final of Christohpe Andre v Elvinn Keo
almost saw Elvinn take the unseeded Frenchman to five, but fell
short in the fourth. And Young Nicholas Calvert couldn’t counter
for the skill of Evan Williams, going down in three.

Day TWO - Quarters:
More upsets and survivals in the Quarter finals this evening.
Biggest upset when 6th seed Ooi Kah Yan MAS defeated the 4th
seeded Jessica Turnbull AUS 3-1.
A big battle between compatriots Ryan Pasqual & Elvinn Keo of
Malaysia took it to 5 games with Keo coming out the winner in 52
minutes.
But the match of the evening would no doubt be the Battle of the
Brother’s with Thomas & Nicholas Calvert of Australia, with
younger brother Nicholas emerging the victor 12-10 in the 5th.
Each game averaged 15 minutes, with the total match going for 78
minutes.
Round Two
Round two saw the top 8 players begin their #SMO2018 campaign,
with some upsets along the way.
Unfortunately due to an injury sustained overnight the No.2 Seed

chance to play.
Former world Champion Cassie Thomas went up against the No.1
Seed Christine Nunn, and Nunn had the upper hand over the former
world champion.
The No. 5 Seed Taylor Flavell also went down to No. 8 Seed
Aika Azman and New Zealand Junior Kaitlyn Watts lost out to Anna
Serme.
Unseeded Frenchman Christophe Andre defeated the No.8 Seed
Lachlan Coxsedge to progress through to the Quarter Finals,
where a battle of the brothers will occur with wins for both
Thomas & Nicholas Calvert.
