Vicky Botwright
New Zealand's top seed Leilani Joyce was severely tested by 13th seed Vicky Botwright in today's (Monday) second round of the Women's World Open Squash Championship in Melbourne, Australia, before battling to a 7-9 10-8 9-2 9-0 victory in 46 minutes to earn a place in the quarter-finals.
mark Botwright, from Manchester in England, has risen to No16 in the world since making a name for herself for being banned from wearing a thong at last June's British Open, where she was dubbed the 'Lancashire Hot Bot'. "Leilani appeared to underestimate her opponent," said a tournament spokesman. "She hit too many tins, and Vicky came close to winning the second game."
Sarah Fitz-Gerald
The Australian kick-started her career by becoming World Junior Champion in 1987, and in October 1996 became the first player to combine that with the World Open crown when she sensationally won the title in Malaysia, not dropping a game in the whole championship, including the final against Cassie Jackman (now Campion). Straight after she took world number one slot for the first time.
Peter Nicol and Jonathon Power
Peter Nicol came to play and Jonathon Power turned up. It was another very easy victory for the world champion and another night he'd rather forget for the Canadian.
Pity, the joint was jumping like I have never experienced before. I've got a feeling that promoter John Nimick has been forced into the perfect venue. The tournament was scheduled to take place in September in the Boston Symphony Hall. The vents of 9/11 forced a postponement and Nimick was forced to go to the Sheraton Hotel because the Hall was not available. But the Ballroom has perfect proportions for a glass court and seating. I'm sure that someone could work out a perfect ratio between volume of the glass court against the volume of the hall. On second thoughts, just measure the venue in Boston this year and you've got it.
David Palmer
David Palmer has rapidly become Australia's leading PSA player. A touring professional since 1994, he began his breakthrough in 1997 when he won four successive PSA Tour titles. He broke into the top ten in February 2000 after claiming two PSA titles from six final appearances in 1999, then reached a career-high No3 in May 2001 after beating world champion Peter Nicol on his way to reaching the PSA Masters final in Egypt ten days earlier.
