“We are thrilled to see the growth and excitement around the 2019 Canadian Junior Open”, said Dan Wolfenden, Squash Canada Executive Director. “The high-level competition and hosting excellence reputation has attracted players representing 16 different nations along with 195 of Canada’s top talented young players.”
“I always look forward to competing in CJO because it is full of tough competitors and it is such a fun environment,” said Canadian Molly Chadwick, #1 seed in Girls U17. “Going in highly seeded presents unique challenges as there are high expectations, but my goal is always to compete at my highest level.”
“This tournament is by far my favourite of the year, especially with the diversity in the draws, the different level of play we get, and of course the prestige that it has developed over the years,” said Canadian Nikhil Ismail, who will be competing for the Boys U19 title. “I have been training really hard for this particular tournament and believe that I have a really good shot at winning it for the first time.”
“I have been coming to the CJO since I was 11 and have always participated each year through to this year (my grade 12 year). I have had the chance to go to USJO, British and Dutch Opens and the CJO remains my favorite event as the accommodation/courts are all in one and the athletes have a chance to socialize. My goal is to get to the finals and then see what happens!” – Canadian Lucia Bicknell, #2 seed Girls U19
