Pohrer Set For US Switch Natalie Pohrer, who reached this month's final of the Qatar Women's World Open Squash Championship as an Englishwoman, will compete as a USA player in future WISPA World Tour events. Daughter of British champion Jean Wilson, Natalie Grainger was born in Manchester, England, and raised in South Africa where she won a number of national titles. After representing South Africa in the World Team Championships and the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Malaysia, where she won two bronze medals, Natalie switched her allegiance to her country of birth in September 1999. The world No4 married US citizen Edward Pohrer in June last year and has now been based in St Louis, Missouri, for more than two years. "Despite the fact that I have never represented England, I am not yet eligible to play for the United States as I have not attained my citizenship, only residency," Pohrer explained. "However I plan on competing for the United States as soon as possible. My life and future are in the States and I am excited about being involved in growing squash there. "Recently I was appointed assistant national coach for the US junior women and I am thrilled to be able to help in this way. Juniors need to be the focus and I hope to give them all the experience I have gained so far," Pohrer added.
