Pakistan dominated the squash courts in Melbourne as sisters Mehwish, Sehrish and Mahnoor Ali advanced to the semi-finals of the Australian Junior Open on Tuesday. Top seed Mehwish is looking to defend her U-17 title after setting up a semi-final with Australian Tina Ma, who won the U-15 title at last year’s edition of the Australian Junior Open. Mehwish won her quarter-final in straight games after dominating Hong Kong’s Maeghan Wang 11-6, 11-3, 11-2 at the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre. Over in the U-15 category, second seed Sehrish will face Olivia van Zon in the semis after thrashing Chelsea Paule 11-2, 11-3, 11-1 in the quarter-finals. Sehrish is top ranked in Pakistan in the Women’s U-15 category as of March 2025, followed by sister Mahnoor, who often plays above her age category and sets up a sibling showdown with Sehrish. Like her older sisters, top seed Mahnoor remains undefeated throughout the tournament and won today’s quarter-final in three straight sets. She obliterated New Zealand’s Meriam Ibrahim 11-1, 11-0, 11-3, and will face Elizabeth Wang in the semis. The 12-year-old is currently the No. 1 ranked women’s squash player in Pakistan as of March, with Mehwish at No.5 and Sehrish at No. 14. Meanwhile, Nouman Khan lost to Elijah Rolls in Monday’s Round of 16 after failing to score a single point.
