The younf Egyptian team (average age 23 years) might have the chance to dominate in the upcoming years. Next chance to win a big title is the World Open on the Cayman Islands In a dramatic final of the WSF Women’s World Team Championship in Nimes which went to the wire, 2nd seeds Egypt recovered from a match down to upset favourites England to win the title for the 2nd time after 2008.
England got off to a good start when Alison Waters beat Nour El Sherbini in the 1st ever meeting between the 2 world top 10 players. Waters, ranked 4 in the world, used her experience to recover the deficit, eventually overcoming her 17-year-old opponent 11-5, 8-11, 9-11, 11-3, 11-5 to put England ahead.
The top string duel which followed again saw England take the early lead when world No3 Laura Massaro won the opening game against Raneem El Weleily, the world No2. Massaro then dropped the next two games – and failed to convert a game-ball in the 4th as El Weleily powered through to win 3-11, 12-10, 11-4, 12-10 to level the tie.
The pattern of the first two matches was repeated in the decider when Jenny Duncalf again put England ahead by winning the 1st game against long-time rival Omneya Abdel Kawy who moved ahead by taking the next two games. Determined to reduce the deficit of her career-long head-to head record of 2/12 down to the Egyptian, Duncalf fought hard to draw level – and in the decider won 5 points in a row to move 7-4 up. Now Kawy took the next points to clinch a remarkable 7-11, 11-8, 11-4, 6-11, 11-8 victory – and the title for Egypt.
“I’m really, really happy – I love my team,” said El Weleily after joining her team-mates on court to celebrate Abdel Kawy’s triumph. “It’s very, very, very big!”
Team coach Amir Wagih was also overjoyed: “It’s so good for Egypt and so good for squash – it was a super final with three matches of unbelievable squash. My players have now won all the world titles except one – and that is the women’s World Open title. So I am hoping that I can complete the set at the end of the year in the Cayman Islands.”
England national coach Chris Robertson agreed that the final was a fitting climax to the event. “It was a great final – in a great atmosphere. I am very proud of my girls and their performances – they gave it everything. But, credit to the Egyptians, they came up with the right shots at the right time.
“We always thought it would be close – and hopefully we will learn a little from it.”
In the match on the centre court immediately preceding the final, France faced eighth seeds Netherlands in the play-off for ninth place – a repeat of the pool tie earlier in the week which the ninth-seeded hosts won to provide the event’s first upset. This time France took a 3/0 victory. “It was a fantastic way to finish – it’s a very good feeling. I wish we could play another match with this great crowd – but for a higher position than ninth place,” said French coach Philippe Signoret.
Third seeds Malaysia beat Australia in the play-off for third place to win the bronze medal for the fourth time in a row.
The championship came to a magnificent conclusion for India when the 10th seeds beat Ireland, the No7 seeds, to win fifth place. It was the teams’ 2nd meeting in 5 days and India won twice. India’s national coach Cyrus Poncha was almost speechless: “Fifth in the world – it’s unbelievable. A few months ago, Dipika said we should target to be in the top four in the world, but I thought that was a very tall order. And here we are just one place below. It was unfortunate we had Egypt in the quarter-finals – anyone barring the top two would have given us a better chance. We feel we now have the depth to create upsets.”
