Ethan Bulkan, a budding Guyanese squash talent, made a promising start at the ongoing Barbados Junior Open Tournament.
He is the lone Guyanese competitor at the tournament.
He convincingly won his opening match in the U-15 category 11-4, 11-3, and 11-2 against Zefan Scott and will advance to the semi-finals later on Saturday.
His presence in the U-15 category is more of an added preparation as he soon heads to the US Open Junior Championships.
A main endeavor for the Caribbean U-13 silver medallist will be defending his U-13 title at this tournament.
With injury cutting short a genuine hope for gold at the Caribbean Championships earlier in the year, another title in Barbados could be an appeasement.
Seeded number one in U-13, the Queen’s College Student has drawn a bye to the semi-final against hosts Ethan Cyrus.
He has a pleasant history against Cyrus, having defeated him in straight sets in the team segment at CASA.
A looming task awaits as victories on Saturday will place him in two finals on Sunday.
