Up next was Canada’s #1, Julien Gosset. Gosset has had a phenomenal World Juniors tournament thus far and was in position to secure Canada a spot in the Semi Finals. Up 2-1 and with match ball (10-6) in the fourth, Julien took a tumble. After injury time he took the court but unable to move he quickly lost the next four points and was forced to retire injured.
All was on the line now for the semi-final spot ….
In the decider, Canada's George Crowne fought hard and after dropping the first two games came back to take the 3rd 11-5. Canada has had an infinity for the 5-gamers this tournament so it looked like George was about to set it up for another exciting but nerve-wrecking finish. In the fourth, the boys traded points but ultimately it was USA's Thomas Rossini who would take the game and the match 3-1 (11-9, 7-11, 11-5, 12-10).
Our boys in red & white will now face Pakistan in search of a top 5 finish when they start the 5/8 round tomorrow (Saturday July 28) at 11am (1am EST)
We’ll be reporting the match scores as we receive them on Facebook (Squash Canada) & Twitter (@squashcanada)
