Chennai: James Willstrop of England scored a memorable title triumph to become the
new world junior men's squash champion at the India Cements Academy on Monday.
In the final the tall and well built Willstrop from Pontefract in Yorkshire put all
his reserves in the title clash for a confident win over his compatriot Peter Barker
9-0, 9-3, 9-1 in just 24 minutes.
Barker, who was tamed for the fourth time this year having lost in straight games in
the British Open, British Junior Open and the European championship, was subdued
perhaps due to the excellent court coverage and systematic winners achieved by
Willstrop.
The almost packed indoor stadium was geared up for a tough five-game final, but
Willstrop had different ideas as he displayed tremendous speed and accuracy in
reeling points at will.
