As promised, here is another edition of the Squash Australia Annual Awards: WA Sweep! Here’s Episode 4: Chris Robertson Junior Male Player of the Year – Oscar Curtis!
Pictured: Oscar shakes Referee Luke Jamieson’s hand as he triumphs over another opponent at the 2023 Australian Junior Championships in Daisy Hill, QLD.
Oscar exits the junior ranks in 2023 as one of the most successful Australian junior men in recent times. In September, Oscar won his third Under 19 Australian Junior Championships, a feat no other junior Australian male has achieved. He would likely have won a fourth title if not for COVID interrupting his winning streak. Oscar’s three Australian Junior Championships go with his three Australian Junior Open titles – an achievement also unmatched in the history of that event.
Pictured: Oscar formed part of the national team that competed in the World Junior Championships in Nancy, France in 2022.
Oscar has also represented Australia with great success over the past 12 months. He was a key member of Australia’s team which defeated New Zealand in the Trans-Tasman Test Match in December 2022 – Australia’s first victory in that event since 2014 – and his 18th place finish at the World Junior Championships in Melbourne in July was the best result by an Australian male since 2015.
Oscar’s dedication, passion and hard work in getting to where he is today, is nothing short of PHENOMENAL. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for this young superstar!
Stay tuned for Episode 5: Keith Walker Coach Award – Tim Cowell! There is also a full write up in the December SWAN.
