Julian Scerri Claims Third Consecutive Silver Medal in Lithuania

Maltese junior squash player Julian Scerri continued his impressive run of international performances, securing a silver medal at the Lithuanian Junior Open 2026 in Kaunas.

Scerri reached another final before suffering a hard-fought 3-1 defeat, completing a remarkable sequence of three consecutive runner-up finishes in as many weekends.

The latest achievement followed silver medals at junior tournaments in Hungary and Romania, highlighting his consistency and growing competitiveness on the European squash circuit.

Competing across three countries on successive weekends presented considerable challenges, with extensive travelling and limited recovery time between tournaments.

Despite narrowly missing out on the title on each occasion, Scerri expressed satisfaction with the progress achieved throughout the demanding schedule.

The Maltese youngster acknowledged that reaching three consecutive finals represented a significant accomplishment, while admitting that further improvement would be necessary to convert future opportunities into tournament victories.

Particularly encouraging was the noticeable improvement in his performances from one competition to another, providing additional motivation to continue working towards greater success.

The three silver medals represent another positive achievement for Maltese squash at international junior level.

With confidence growing and valuable experience gained, Scerri remains determined to build on these performances and secure further success.
