Qatar Open

First round: Raneem El Weleily

I got through a comfortable first round against the Egyptian. I dont think she was playing her best and made a lot of errors so I was able to take advantage and get off court in 26 mins. I now play Vanessa Atkinson in the last 16.

Weymuller US open
Written by Kasey Brown

Last week I played in the Weymuller US open. I had been playing well leading up to the tournament and had Tania Bailey first round which was going to be a challenge. She was 4 in the world before her injury and has just come back. I lost the match in 4 games. Was a bit disappointed because I started off too defensive and should have won the 1st game but made some bad decisions at 8 all. It wasnt until the 3rd game I started attacking well and won the 3rd comfortably but lost the 4th in a tight 11/9 game. I learnt a lot from the match and hopefully can take that into the Qatar open next week. I leave on Saturday from NY.

well its back to training.

Speak soon

Hong Kong Open sorry about

Hong Kong Open
sorry about blog. been having some problems but should be all fixed up now.
In the first round I beat Sarah Kippax in 4 games. In the 4th game, at 8 all, I smacked myself in the leg while playing a shot and managed to cause it to bleed loads and had to have a 3 min blood stoppage. Fortunately I managed to win that game 11/9.
In the last 16, I lost against rachael grinham in 4. first game was too predictable which meant she was able to move me around and dominate play. so i changed it in second and mixed everything up which worked better and started moving forward onto her crosscourts. in third lost 11/9 and now kinda regret giving the blatant stroke away when i was 6/4 up and the refs called a let. to be fair, had i taken it, i wud have felt guilty and probably lost the game anyway. i figured karma wud kick in and let me win the game but noooooooo. needed to get off to better starts in each game as she always got the jump early. don't think ive ever won a game against her before.
back in new york now. have uni exam on 2nd Nov and preparing for Weymuller tournament which starts on the 5th nov. Ive been sick with the flu this week but I am getting better and back on court now.
talk soon

Ok so I was reminded

Ok so I was reminded I needed to blog (I need reminding). The last tournament I played was the NZ Open, which I have to say was the best run tournament Ive ever been to. The organisers thought of everything a squash player would need. Also the apartment on the beach was a ne touch. Anyway, I had to play Madeline Perry first round. I lost a tight 3/1. Losing the first games from a few unforced tins In the second comfortably. At 9 all in the 3rd game, Madeline hit a jag to go game ball up. I felt like nothing was going my way in the match and lost the last game 11/8. I felt I played well and was right in it but couldnt get those big points.

So now Im back in NY and it is time for the return of death training. After playing 6 weeks of competition, I knew I was out of shape and this week has proved it. The first is always the worst so I am thinking positive in knowing it can only better from here. Rod's death running session, including shuttles and hill sprints was tough and I am not looking forward to it on Tuesday. As the Worlds are 4 weeks away, I have upped training to 3 sessions a day so should be fit for Amsterdam.

Anyway, I am back in the swing of things and will blog again soon

Take care

xx
