2023 ANC quarter-finals set after day one

Published Thu 22 Jun 2023

The 2023 Australian National Championships are underway at Thornleigh Squash & Fitness Centre in Sydney, with small number of matches taking place on Thursday evening.

Seven of the men’s top eight seeds were in action earlier today with seeds 2 through 7 all making it through to the quarter-finals.

The most dominant performance came from 2022 runner-up Rhys Dowling who dropped just four points in his match.

Third seed Nick Calvert showed no signs of fatigue having returned from the World Cup in Chennai last weekend, not dropping a game en route to the next round.

Australian Junior Open U19 champion Oscar Curtis made it to the semi-finals in 2022 and kicked off this year’s campaign on the right note, claiming victory in just 17 minutes.

The results set up Friday evening’s men’s quarter-finals as follows (times are approximate and may change):

  • 5pm AEST 1-Ryan Cuskelly (NSW) v 5/8-David Turner (QLD)
  • 5:45pm AEST 5/8-Oscar Curtis (WA) v 3/4-James Lloyd (QLD)
  • 6:30pm AEST 3/4-Nick Calvert (QLD) v 5/8-Dylan Molinaro (VIC)
  • 7:15pm AEST Gregory Chan (WA) v 2-Rhys Dowling (QLD)

Just two matches were played in the women’s draw today, with upset wins coming against high-ranked opponents in both matches..

2019 World Junior Championships teammates Remashree Muniandy and Sze Yu Lee played out a see-sawing battle which went the distance. In the end it was Muniandy who punched her ticket to the quarters with a 3-2 win (9-11, 11-6, 11-6, 8-11, 12-10).

Also moving into the next round is Jennifer Condie who made her way past Pascale Louka in four games.

Like the men, the women’s quarter-finals will also take place on Friday evening, with approximate timings as follows:

  • 5pm AEST 1-Jess Turnbull (QLD) v Remashree Muniandy (SA)
  • 5:45pm AEST 5/8-Madison Lyon (QLD) v 3/4-Sophie Fadaely (QLD)
  • 6:30pm AEST 3/4-Alex Haydon (SA) v Jennifer Condie (NSW)
  • 7:15pm AEST 5/8-Erin Classen (WA) v 2-Sarah Cardwell (VIC)
