Ahmad Alsaraj aims for squash success

Tuesday, February 18 2014 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Jordanian rising squash player Ahmad Alsaraj is hoping to launch his professional career after his breakthrough success by winning the under-19 British Open last month.

    A new nationality was sure to be engraved on the Boys Under-19 British Junior Open, as Jordan's Ahmad Alsaraj stunned Peruvian Diego Elias in the final last month to become the first-ever Jordanian to win the cup.

    British Junior Open is considered the second most prestigious Junior Open squash championship in the calendar, after the World Junior Squash

    Championships gathered 424 players from 36 countries.

    Script:

    SOUDNBITE: (Arabic)

    "When I decided to go to this event (British Open) I postponed my school exams, I went there not thinking about losing at all, in my preparations I was only think about winning not losing at all. I didn't miss a single training session, I took everything very seriously so when the time for the matches arrives, I'd have done everything I could."

    SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)

    "I need to gain more experience, I need to go to other countries for longer period, for example Britain where there are many competitions I might need to stay there for a week. However, a week there is costly and this need support, needs a budget because you go there to get the experience needed by playing against world champions in Britain, Egypt or Malaysia - where there are lots of good players."

    SUPER CAPTION: Ahmed Alsaraj

    SOUNDBITE: (Arabic)

    "I want to reach the highest rankings in the world, the dream is to be a world champion. This is a dream, like the British Open title was a dream."
