Jennifer "Jen" Saunders (born November 18, 1976) is a Canadian racquetball player from Thompson, Manitoba. Saunders has been Canadian Champion in Women's Singles nine times, which is the most for a Canadian woman.[1] Her 9 Canadian Women’s Singles Championships and 20 combined Canadian Women’s Singles and Doubles Championships are also Canadian women's records.[1] Saunders was the 2009 Manitoba Female Athlete of the Year as voted by the Manitoba Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association.[2]

Early life

Saunders was born in Thompson, Manitoba to Ed and Ruth Saunders, the youngest of their three girls.[3] She began playing racquetball at age 10.[3] Saunders earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Physical Activity and Sport Studies at the University of Winnipeg in 1999.[3] She now lives in Winnipeg, where she is the Executive Director for Racquetball Manitoba.[4]

Racquetball career

1996-2002

Saunders’s racquetball career started slowly. She won Women’s A at the 1996 Canadian Championships in Montreal.[5] She then won back to back Mixed Doubles A Division titles in 1997[6] with François Viens and in 1998[7] with Trent Foley.

Competing in the Women’s Open Doubles division at the 1999 Canadian Championships, Saunders and partner Julie Neubauer won the consolation title.[8] They followed that up with a 4th-place finish the next year at the 2000 Canadian Championships.[9]

Saunders got to her first significant result in Women’s Singles at the Canadian Championships in 2001, when she reached the final by defeating Lori-Jane Powell in the semi-finals, 11-6, 11-0, 11-2, but lost the final to Josée Grand'Maître, 11-5, 11-6, 11-7.[10] Saunders again played Women’s Doubles with Neubauer, and they finished 5th.[11]

Saunders made Team Canada for the first time in 2002, when she played Women’s Singles at the 2002 Pan American Championships (then called Tournament of the Americas) in Cochabomba, Bolivia.[12] Saunders lost to American Laura Fenton in the semi-finals, and then lost to American Rhonda Rajsich in the 3rd place match.[13]

Saunders went one better at the 2002 Canadian Championships, as she captured her first Women’s Singles title.[14] She defeated Neubauer in the quarterfinals, 15-7, 15-4, Powell in the semi-finals, 15-10, 15-6, and Grand'Maître in the final, 15-12, 15-4. Afterwards, Saunders said "it’s something I’ve worked on for so long and it’s so unbelievable. I couldn’t imagine it could go any better."[15] She came 3rd in Women’s Doubles playing with Powell, as they lost in the semi-finals to Grand'Maître and Chantal Turgeon, 15-10, 15-9, in the semi-finals, then beat Neubauer and Véronique Guillemette for 3rd, 15-7, 15-11.[14]

Her Canadian Championship qualified her to play in the Racquetball World Championships for the first time. Saunders played Women’s Singles for Canada at the 2002 World Championships in Puerto Rico, where she was the silver medalist. Saunders reached the final by defeating the USA’s Laura Fenton, 15-6, 7-15, 11-3, in the semi-finals, but in the final she lost to USA veteran Cheryl Gudinas, 15-13, 15-13.[16][17]

2003-2008

In 2003, Saunders and Josée Grand'Maître started playing Women’s Doubles together, and it became the most successful partnership in Canadian racquetball history, as they won 10 Canadian Championships together.[1] Their first Women’s Doubles title was at the 2003 Canadian Championships.[18] They defeated Saunders’s former doubles partners Powell and Neubauer, who played together that year, in the final, 15-6, 8-15, 11-8.[19] But Saunders didn’t successfully defend her Women’s Singles title, although she did get to the final for a third straight year. In the semi-finals, Saunders beat Grand'Maître in the semi-finals, 15-7, 15-8, but in the final, she narrowly lost to Powell, 8-15, 15-4, 13-11.

Her performances helped to earn Saunders a spot on Team Canada at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. She played Women’s Singles, but lost in the quarterfinals to teammate Lori-Jane Powell, 15-14, 14-15, 11-1.[20] The Canadians met in the quarters because Saunders didn’t win her pool, losing two matches: one to Angela Grisar of Chile, 15-3, 14-15 11-5, and one to Claudine Garcia of the Dominican Republic, 11-15, 15-7, 11-6.[21] while Powell won all her pool matches and claimed the 2nd seed for the medal round playoffs.

The 2004 Canadian Championships played out as they did in 2003.[22] Saunders and Grand'Maître won Women’s Doubles for the second time, defeating Powell and Neubauer in the final, 15-9, 15-8, and Geneviève Brodeur and Véronique Guillemette in the semi-finals, 15-2, 15-2. But in Women’s Singles, Saunders lost the final to Powell, 15-13, 15-13. She reached the final by defeating Grand’Maître in the semis, 9-15, 15-12, 11-7.

At the 2004 World Championships in Anyang, South Korea, Saunders played Women’s Doubles with Grand’Maître, and they finished with bronze medals, as they lost to Mexicans Susana Acosta and Rosy Torres, 8-15, 15-5, 11-4.[23] In the Women’s Team event, Saunders and her Canadian teammates got silver, losing to Team USA in the final.[24]

Saunders won both Women’s Singles and Doubles at the 2005 Canadian Championships.[25] She and Grand'Maître won their 3rd straight doubles title, again defeating Powell and Neubauer, 15-12, 11-15, 11-2.[26] In the singles semi-finals, Saunders defeated Grand’Maître, 15-7, 15-8, and then beat Linda Ellerington in the final, 15-3, 11-15, 11-1[27] to win her second Women’s Singles Canadian Championship.

Saunders’s accomplishments in 2005 got her nominated for the 2005 Manitoba Female Athlete of the year finalist.[28]

Saunders and Grand'Maître won their 4th Canadian Championship in Women’s Doubles in 2006, when they again defeated Powell and Neubauer in the final, 15-8, 15-0.[29] However, in Women’s Singles, Saunders lost the final to Christie Van Hees, 15-11, 15-11.

Saunders made her third appearance at the World Championships in 2006 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. She played Women’s Singles,[30] defeating Mexican Paola Longoria in the quarterfinals, 15-6 15-5, but losing to Angela Grisar of Chile in the semi-finals, 15-9, 15-6, resulting in a bronze medal.[31] In the Women’s Team event, Team Canada got silver as they lost the final to the USA[32] two matches to one, including Saunders’s loss to Cheryl Gudinas, 15-12, 15-4.[33]

Saunders competed in Women’s Singles at the 2007 Pan American Championships in Santiago, Chile, where she lost to Paola Longoria in the quarterfinals.[34]

Saunders’s results at the 2007 Canadian Championships mirrored 2006, as she and Grand'Maître won their 5th Canadian Championship in Women’s Doubles, but she again lost the final of Women’s Singles to Van Hees.[35] Her performances were recognized with a nomination for 2007 Manitoba Female Athlete of the Year.[36]

In 2008, Saunders played Women’s Singles at the Pan American Championships[37] in San Jose, Costa Rica, where she was a bronze medalist after losing in the semi-finals to Paola Longoria of Mexico, 15-6, 6-15, 11-10.

Saunders was runner up in both Women’s Singles and Doubles at the 2008 Canadian Championships in Burlington, Ontario, which was the first year she hadn’t won at least one of those titles since 2001. She won the first game of the Women’s Singles final versus Van Hees, but lost in a tie-breaker, 14-16, 15-7, 11-0.[38] Saunders and Grand'Maître lost the Women’s Doubles final to Geneviève Brodeur and Véronique Guillemette, 10-15, 16-14, 11-9.[39] Indeed, that year Saunders and Grand'Maître needed a tie-breaker just to get to get to the final, as they went three games in the semi-finals versus Alison Schlichemeyer and Brandi Jacobson Prentice, winning 15-9, 14-16, 11-3.

At the 2008 World Championships in Kingscourt, Ireland, Saunders was 4th in Women’s Singles, and 3rd in the Women’s Team event. In singles, she lost in the semi-finals to Cheryl Gudinas of the USA, 15-8, 11-15, 11-8, and then lost to Paola Longoria in 3rd place match, 15-9, 15-8.[40][41] In the Women’s Team event, Canada lost to Bolivia in the semi-finals, 3-0, but then defeated Chile, 2-1, for the bronze medal.[42]

Saunders was a finalist in Women’s Singles at the 2010 Pan American Championships in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.[50] She defeated Mexican Nancy Enriquez in the semi-finals, 15-12, 15-11, but lost the final to Enriquez’s teammate Paola Longoria, 15-10, 15-11.

In the quarterfinals of the Women’s Team event, Saunders played both singles and doubles (with Brandi Jacobson Prentice) for Canada against Ecuador, but she lost both her matches, so Ecuador beat Canada, denying the Canadians a place on the podium.

She lost in the quarterfinals of Women’s Singles to Bolivian Carola Loma, 15-5, 12-15, 11-6.[61] Saunders teamed with Christine Richardson in Women’s Doubles, and they got to the semi-finals, but lost to Loma and Jenny Daza of Bolivia, 15-12, 15-11,[62] so they were bronze medalists.

At the 2014 Canadian Championships, Saunders was the 2nd seed, as Frédérique Lambert had overtaken her in the Racquetball Canada rankings. Lambert had a good season on the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour, which would see her finish in the top 10 for the first time in her career. And the 20014 Canadian Championships were in Brossard, Québec at Lambert’s home club. Thus, it seemed a perfect set up for Lambert to win her first Canadian Women’s Singles title. However, Saunders defeated Lambert in three games, 15-6, 6-15, 11-9,[72] winning her 8th Canadian Championship in Women’s Singles, which set the career record, breaking a tie she had with Heather Stupp.[1]

However, the pair lost in the quarterfinals to the Ecuador team of Veronica Sotomayor and Maria Paz Muñoz, 15-6, 7-15, 11-8.[73]

2015-2017

At the 2015 Pan American Championships, Saunders played both Women’s Singles and Doubles.

She lost in the Round of 16 to Carola Loma of Bolivia, 15-9, 15-14,[76] and then in the 9-12 playoff Saunders defeated Angela Grisar of Chile, 15-10, 15-4, but lost to Venezuelan Mariana Paredes, 4-15, 15-9, 11-7.[77]

At the 2015 Canadian Championships, Saunders lost in Women’s Singles for the first time since 2008, as Lambert won her first Canadian singles title.[78] But in her first year playing Women’s Doubles without Josée Grand'Maître, Saunders again captured the Women’s Doubles title, as she and Danielle Drury defeated Frédérique Lambert and Michèle Morissette, 15-8, 2-15, 11-8.[79]

Saunders’s results got her a spot on Team Canada for the Pan Am Games in Toronto,[80] She played Women’s Singles, losing in the Round of 16 to Carola Loma of Bolivia, 15-9, 15-1.

In 2016, Saunders won her 9th Canadian Championship in Women's Singles in 2016, defeating Michèle Morissette in the final, 15-10, 17-15.[83] But in doubles Saunders and Drury failed to defend their title, as they lost to Morissette[84] and Christine Richardson.[85] The win gave Saunders 20 Canadian Women’s Singles and Doubles Open Division titles, which is the most for a Canadian woman or man, one more than Mike Green.[1]

Saunders played Women’s Doubles with Frédérique Lambert at the 2016 World Championships in Cali, Colombia, where they were bronze medalists.[86] They defeated the Argentina team of Maria Jose Vargas and Pia Dati, 15-7, 15-9, in the quarterfinals, but in the semi-finals, the USA team of Aimee Ruiz and Janel Tisinger beat Saunders and Lambert, 15-8, 15-7.[87]

Saunders began the 2016-17 season well with wins at both Racquetball Canada National Team Selection Events. She defeated Michèle Morissette, 15-7, 15-8, in Valleyfield, Quebec,[88] and Christine Richardson in Calgary, 15-8, 15-9.[89] Those wins helped to get Saunders a spot on Team Canada for the 2017 Pan American Championships in San Jose, Coata Rica, where she played both Women's Singles and Women's Doubles with Danielle Drury. In singles, Saunders was drawn in the elimination Round of 32 against teammate Michèle Morissette, and defaulted to her.

Saunders came 2nd in the first National Team Selection Event of the 2017-18 season in Vernon, British Columbia, where she lost to Lambert in the final, 15-6, 15-4.[92] But she rebounded to win the second Selection Event in Kitchener, Ontario, as Saunders defeated Alexis Iwaasa, 15-7, 13-15, 11-7, in the final.[93]
