Eurosafe Solutions Zwolle Open
Zwolle, Netherlands
By Tommy Berden, Topsquash Nederland
A large Dutch contingent of players pleased the home crowd with a solid and successful performance during the first round of the Eurosafe Solutions Zwolle Open 2008.
No fewer than five Dutch players succeeded to qualify for the quarter finals during the $4,000 USD WISPA Tour 4 championship in Zwolle, the
Netherlands.
Milja Dorenbos lead the way with an impressive four game win over the talented Lauren Selby from England, after which Karen Kronemeyer (4) saw off her compatriot Lisa Kho, also in four games. The three other Dutch players to move into the last eight are Dagmar Vermeulen (7), Orla Noom (3) and Milou van der Heijden (8), all of whom won in straight games.
Meanwhile the only and biggest shock of the day came when Olga Ertlova took out the tournament’s top seed Tricia Chuah. The Czech qualifier came from one game down to beat the world’s number 31: 3-9, 9-6, 9-6, 9-7 while at the adjacent court the number two seed Aisling Blake survived a tough first game against Lucie Fialova, before storming home to a 10-8, 9-1, 9-1 victory. The last quarter finalist is Vicky Hynes. The English girl dispatched Linda Hruzikova in three.
