Lijana Sultana has won the Romanian Junior Open.

Taking part in the Under 13 Girls event in Bucharest, she won all her matches without dropping a game to win her first European ranking tournament.

In the qualifying group, Sultana was superior to her opponents, beating Andra Marin and Anna Kedves to finish top of the group. 

In the next round Sultana gave another solid performance to have the better of Alexandra Ghiorghisor. 

In the final match, the young Maltese player continued to play well, giving no chance to her opponent Timeea Dumitrascu, to claim her first European title.

Since joining the National Sport School, Sultana has continued to improve and is steadily moving up the European rankings. She is currently ranked #25 in Europe and is looking to emulate the success of her squash siblings Colette and Kijan Sultana 

Lijana Sultana is supported by Harrow Sports, Malta Squash, MOC and Sport Malta.
