Rachael Grinham and Kasey Brown have started 2011 where they left off in December with first round wins in the season-opening Greenwich Open squash tournament in New York. Grinham and Brown were part of the Australian team that won the Womem's World Teams Championship in New Zealand in early December alongside Sarah Fitz-Gerald and Donna Urquhart. The pair both enjoyed good starts to the Greenwich Open. Amsterdam-based Queenslander Grinham beat Ireland's Aisling Blake in three tight games 12-10, 11-9, 11-9 while Brown, who is based in New York, downed Italian qualifier Manuela Manetta 11-7, 11-4, 11-7. Grinham now takes on up and coming New Zealand star Joelle King and Brown faces sixth seeded Egyptian Raneem El Weleily.

Australia and England battled for the 2010 Women's World Team Squash Championship title in Palmerston North, New Zealand today, with Australia winning the Championships!
The result was a hard fought 2/1 win over top seed England with the superior Australian depth driving the result.
The playing order was 3-1-2, the same as the semi finals.
Sarah Fitz-Gerald opened the tie, played assertively and overpowered Sarah Kippax in straight games to put Australia one up in the tie.
Rachael Grinham and English number 1 Jenny Duncalf took to the court, Grinham aiming to win the title and Duncalf looking to keep England in the tie, Duncalf kept the match well in control except for a brief window in the third game when the Aussie led to 9, before the Duncalf closed the game and match. Sending the final into a decider between Kasey Brown and Laura Massaro.
Kasey Brown and Englishwomen Laura Massaro then took to the court to determine the Championship. As she has done in the World Individuals and Commonwealth Games Brown showed a steely resolve and determindly worked her way to a 3/1 victory over Massaro giving Australia the World Championship.
