ESF congratulates Rowan Damming the World Junior Squash Champion 2022

The Netherlands’ Damming and Egypt’s Orfi crowned 2022 WSF World Junior Squash Champions.

Rowan Damming became the first-ever Dutch player to win a WSF World Junior Squash Championship as he downed pre-match favourite Finnlay Withington 3-0 to lift the title, while in the women’s draw Amina Orfi became the first-ever player to fight back from two games down in a final as she beat Egyptian compatriot Salma El Tayeb 3-2.

The Dutchman dominated from the beginning, with his excellent movement and solid fundamentals better suited to the sweltering conditions than the more attack-minded Withington.

That win for Damming officially brought an end to Egypt’s run of 27 consecutive wins across all world championship finals, including men’s, women’s, junior, and teams.
