55kg Junior FS Preview: Fix vs. Teasdale Rematch Looms

Although we've got some highly anticipated matchups on the senior level, the junior level at the U.S Open is not to be overlooked in Las Vegas this week. Specifically, 55kg is shaping up to be incredible.

As we glance at the registration, the two biggest names that stick out are No. 1 Daton Fix and No. 2 Gavin Teasdale. They met last year at the U.S. Open Championships, where Fix was able to overcome Teasdale's deadly head pinch to get the win.

Among these two are some well-credentialed guys who will look to get in the way of a Teasdale versus Fix rematch in this year's finals.
