Results of Asian Junior Squash Championship from 1997-2005

Asian Junior Squash Championship, 26 - 29 June 2008

Anaka Alankamony did herself and India proud by winning the girls’ under-15 title in the Asian junior individual squash championship, which concluded in Busan, South Korea.

Anaka had problem in the 1st two games in which her opponent Ho Ka Po of Hongkong was leading 6-1 but in the last game it was a cake walk for her.  She won 9-6 9-6 9-1 justifying her top seed position.  This is her 8th international title.

Anaka’s was the lone success for India after Mahesh Mangaonkar and Dipika Pallikal, who too were in the final, failed to win the titles.

In the boys under-15 section, Mahesh Mangaonkar met with an uphill task against top-seeded Nasir Iqbal from Pakistan who gave him very little chance while carving out a straight-game victory.

Nasir exhibited a fine display of speed along with aggression to win 4-9, 4-9, 3-9.

Vikram Malhotra bagged a bronze for India in the boys under-19 category after winning the third-fourth place playoff. He had upset fourth seeded Kamran of Malaysia in the last eight.

In the girls under-19 category 2nd seeded Dipika Pallikal had no answer to the consistency of top seed Low Wee Wern of Malaysia. 

Wern thus retained the title she had won in 2006. Dipika lost 1-9, 6-9, 0-9.
