Evan Williams and Keegan Burkhart have both been beaten in the fifth round of the individual event at the Junior Men's World Champs in Zurich |
New Zealand's title challenge has come to an end in the individual event at the Junior Men's World Squash Championships in Zurich, Switzerland.
Evan Williams and Keegan Burkhart have both bowed out in the fifth round overnight, to miss out on a spot in the last 16.
Williams, the kiwi number one, put up a good fight against Pakistani 5/8 seed Waqar Mahboob, but was ultimately beaten 9/6 9/5 10/9.
Burkhart was also beaten in straight games, going down 9/0 9/4 9/2 to English 5/8 seed Adrian Waller.
However, there has been some success for the New Zealand players who were knocked out of the main draw earlier in the tournament.
Cameron Jamieson has bounced back from his fourth round exit to win his opening match in the Classic Plate, downing England's Oliver Holland 9/4 9/2 9/7.
Teammate Alex Grayson has also shaken off his third round loss to the top seed, winning his second straight match in the plate section, with a 9/2 9/5 9/2 victory over Sweden's Gustav Runersjo.
