Moxham & Khaled-Jousselin Win Dutch Junior Open U19 Titles

France's Amir Khaled-Jousselin added another prestigious trophy to his collection while Savannah Moxham won gold for Belgium in the 2025 Dutch Junior Open U19 finals.

Khaled-Jousselin, Europe's no.1 junior, had galloped into the final at the Frans Otten Stadion in Amsterdam without dropping a game, but was given a pretty tough workout by runner-up Luhann Groenewald of South Africa in a 11-4 11-9 11-9 victory.

Although the Frenchman got a quick start in the first game, double-hander Groenewald's gutsy retrieval extended the rallies in the next two games, but he couldn't quite get a game on the board.

"I am happy to win three games to love against such a good player," said 17-year-old Khaled-Jousselin. "I kept pushing myself and said, 'One more, one more.' The key is hard work all the time, do good stuff and do the right things. Keep pushing the limits."

The young Frenchman will now prepare for the World Junior Championships in Cairo (21 July - 1 August). The Dutch title adds to the Belgian, French, Luxembourg Open and European U19 Individual and Team Championships he has already won this season.

"It's not bad, but I always want more!" he said. "I like to push my limits to see where I can go, but I'm really happy to win the Dutch Junior Open and finish a really good season."

In the women's U19 final, second seed Moxham disappointed the home supporters by defeating Dutchwoman Renske Huntelaar 9-11 11-4 11-7 11-3 in the final.

Huntelaar, who had beaten England's top seed Emily Coulcher-Porter in the semi-finals in a five-setter, started quickest to take a tight first game, but Moxham took control thereafter.

Moxham grew up in Belgium before moving to the USA at the age of five and is now coached by her parents, Shaun Moxham and Katline Cauwels, at MSquash in Connecticut.

"I love playing here and being able to see some family because I grew up not far from here," said the 16-year-old. "It feels super fun because I'm really close to home. Being able to win a tournament with my family and coaches here is what means the most.

"Renske is such a tough opponent so I knew it was going to be a really intense match. She runs and hits so well and gets so many balls back, so a big priority was keeping my head, staying calm, keeping it tight and not letting it become too physical."

Moxham next heads to Hamburg for next week's European Junior Open, and said: "Every tournament in Europe there are so many great people so I'm sure there will be plenty of competition there. It'll have some new faces and new challenges which I look forward to."

The BU17 final was an all-Egyptian affair which US Junior Open U17 champion Michael Fayez won 11-7 11-6 11-13 11-7 against 9/16 seed Omar El-Tabbakh. Another Egyptian, Mariam El Mattet, won the GU17 title with an 11-4 11-7 11-5 win over England's Reka Kemecsei.

The Egyptian flag was raised for both U15 finals too after 17/32 seed Omar Sadek's victory over 3/4 seed John Peter Pierce of the USA (who had ousted top seed Mateusz Lohmann in the semi-finals). In the GU15 climax, top seed Lana Fathallah won a five-game thriller, resisting a comeback from compatriot Sandy Hassan to win 11-6 11-8 11-13 8-11 11-8.

There was a South American showdown in the BU13 final as Colombia's top seed Esteban Suarez overcame Peru's Mauricio Trisano, the 3/4 seed, 12-14 11-8 11-5 13-11. Egypt's Amy Hassan breezed to the GU13 trophy without dropping a game, beating compatriot Layan Omara 11-4 11-2 11-1 in the final.

USA's top seed Archibald Anolik came from a game down to win the BU11 title against Egyptian Omar Elzoheiry 11-13 11-3 11-5 11-3, while the GU11 winner was Egypt's 5/8 seed Aysel Ashour following a straight games win over Delilah Grace Pease of the British Virgin Islands.
