Aryaveer Dewan Emerges Boys’ U-19 Asian Squash Champion
Asian Junior Individual Squash Championships: Aryaveer Dewan became only the fourth Indian male to emerge the Asian boys’ U-19 champion as he clinched the coveted crown at the 33rd Asian Junior Individual Squash Championships in Panzhihua, China, on Sunday.
Despite being the 3/4 seed for the tournament, the young talent from Delhi put on a masterclass in the final match, comprehensively defeating South Korea's Jonghyeok Lee with a commanding scoreline of 11-2, 11-7, 11-9 in under an hour to secure the prestigious continental title.
This win further solidifies Aryaveer's rapid ascent in the junior squash circuit. The Indian star had previously captured the boys' Under-17 title at the same tournament last year, and now, by adding the Under-19 championship to his collection, he has firmly established himself as one of India's most promising squash talents heading into the World Junior Championships later this year.
