This year's event marked a breakthrough, welcoming 850 junior players from around the globe—a record-breaking turnout that set the stage for an unforgettable showcase of talent and sportsmanship.
Pre-Match Challenges: A Rainy Delay
Originally scheduled to kick off on August 5, the tournament faced an unexpected challenge as a black rainstorm warning forced the postponement of matches by one day. Despite the delay, the resilience and determination of the players shone through—once the warning was lifted and the rain subsided, many athletes seized the opportunity to practice!
Ms. Jessica Ng, Founder of The JESSICA Company, shared her thoughts: "It is an incredible honor to sponsor this event for the second consecutive year. The JESSICA Company Hong Kong Junior Squash Open 2025 has been a tremendous success, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Hong Kong Squash, the Culture, Sports, and Tourism Bureau (Arts and Sports Development Fund), the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, Gym Aesthetics Sportsleish Limited, and all the team members and volunteers for their unwavering dedication, especially when we were dealing with the unforeseen weather challenges. Most importantly, I want to thank the talented players, their coaches, and families for making this event so memorable."
Ms. Ng emphasized that by sponsoring the Junior Squash Open, The JESSICA Company seeks not only to promote squash but also to inspire young people, particularly women, to chase their dreams, discover their potential, and push their limits. She highlighted the importance of sports as a medium for building confidence and leadership skills.
Emily Mak, Executive Director of Hong Kong Squash, noted the invaluable support provided by The JESSICA Company as the event's title sponsor. "Beyond financial backing, The JESSICA Company's brand strength has helped amplify the visibility of squash, the event, and the spirit of sportsmanship to a broader audience across various industries. This partnership is undoubtedly a win-win collaboration."
Athlete Highlights: Intensity Meets Strategy
Emily Mak described the unique allure of squash as "a dynamic chess game in motion, with the squash court serving as each player's chessboard." Players must combine physical prowess, speed, endurance, and technique with tactical decision-making and precise positioning to outmaneuver their opponents. This high-stakes environment makes squash especially appealing to energetic and challenge-seeking youth.
