Women’s $6k Men’s $3k PSA Challengers, 28-31 Jan, Netherlands
France’s Lauren Baltayan and Netherland’s Rowan Damming captured the Amsterdam Challenger 2026 titles after successfully coming through from their top seed billing to win the respective Challenger Events at Frans Otten Stadium.
Baltayan won her 6th PSA Tour title, and third of the 2025/26 season, thanks to a commanding week of squash in which she dropped just one game.
After navigating her way through matches against Tessa ter Sluis, Breanne Flynn and No.4 seed Margot Prow, the 18-year-old proved too strong for No.7 seed Nour Khafagy in the 9k final, clinching the title by an 11-6, 11-7, 11-7 scoreline.
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Damming claimed his second successive PSA Tour title, and seventh of his career to date, after holding off French rising star Amir Khaled-Jousselin in the final.
The World No.90, marking his return to the tour following suspension, reached the final of the 3k event following straight game wins over Marcus Soby Jepsen, Bradley Fullick and Jared Carter before coming from a game behind to defeat 17-year-old Khaled-Jousselin by a 7-11, 11-4, 11-4, 11-7 scoreline.
