After two rounds of men's action in the WSF World Junior Squash Championships today in the Polish city of Wroclaw, unseeded Britons Angus Gillams, Lyell Fuller and Joel Makin joined Egyptian Omar Elatmas in securing unexpected places in the last 16 round at the new 20-court Hasta La Vista Club.
Englishman Gillams, a 17-year-old from Hertfordshire, survived his second five-game match of the day by upsetting Switzerland's 9/16 seed Robin Gadola 4-11, 13-11, 11-3, 11-13, 11-5.
Welshman Makin, aged 18, despatched 17-year-old Indian seed Kush Kumar 11-9, 13-11, 6-11, 11-7.
Fuller, a 17-year-old Englishman from Devon, followed a five-game win over senior US international Dylan Murray by taking out 18-year-old Indian Rishi Tandon 11-4, 11-5, 12-14, 11-7.
Elatmas took four games to see off Israeli 9/16 seed Daniel Poleshchuk 11-7, 10-12, 11-8, 11-3. The 17-year-old now faces second-seeded compatriot Karim Ayman Elhammamy, who defeated Argentina's Federico Cioffi 11-6, 11-7, 11-4.
Top seed Fares Mohamed Dessouki also had a straightforward win, beating Swiss opponent Remo Handl 11-2, 11-4, 11-2.
There were no notable surprises in today's second round of the women's event. Egyptian favourite Nour El Sherbini brushed aside Belgium's Tinne Gilis 11-7, 11-8, 11-3.
There was better news for the Gilis family, however, when Nele Gilis - a 5/8 seed - beat Canadian Alison Richmond 11-5, 11-1, 11-6 to claim her anticipated place in the third round.
France's 17-year-old Marie Stephan gave herself a confidence-boosting place in the next round when she defeated Sue Ann Yong 11-4, 11-8, 14-12 - avenging her defeat to the 18-year-old Malaysian in last week's Dutch Junior Open final in Amsterdam!
