The slice is of great value in squash and Evo is definitely a dab hand at that, I think his dad played squash and that is how Evo got into racket sports but may well be wrong.
Anoushka is/was seriously good at squash ie. getting to the QF of the British junior Open (a world junior tier 2 event) at U15. She was the last British player left in the draw at that point. There is only one tier one event ie the world champs. I don't think she can have been playing too much tennis.

Thanks. Any idea why live scores aren't showing up for this on the ITF site?
No umpires for 1st round of 25k, just FQR onwards
Gosh I had no idea that was the case. Are you saying they keep their own scores? And what about line calls? I knew there were far fewer officials at this level but always assumed there must be at least some.
I wasn't aware that there weren't any officials at this level, but having been to quite a few British Tour events where there are NO officials at all, and to 15k main draws where there was an umpire and one line judge per match, I'm not at all surprised.
There are no officials for 15k qualifying and first round 25k qualifying in the UK.
Players keep their own scores using a scoreboard. There is a supervisor for disputes.
For first round onwards and FQR in 25k there is an umpire and a line judge at each end of the court.
The number of officials can increase as the tournament proceeds subject to availability.
