New Zealand has had a convincing win in the first round of the teams event at the Junior Men's World Champs |
New Zealand has made a winning start to the teams event at the Junior Men's World Squash Championships in Zurich, Switzerland.
The ninth seeded kiwis have swept 17/24 seed Sweden aside 3/0, with all three matches won in straight games.
New Zealand number one Evan Williams was in impressive form, crushing Johan Detter 9/2 9/0 9/3, while Alex Grayson was also too good for Truls Olterman, strolling to a 9/5 9/1 9/1 victory. Keegan Burkhart made it a clean sweep for New Zealand with a 9/5 10/8 9/4 win over Alex Christensson.
New Zealand will play 25/31 seed China in the second round of Pool H, before squaring off against 8th seeded Hong Kong in what should be the Pool decider.
The top two from each pool go through to the top 16 knock-out phase.
