Samantha Soars To Windy City Success
Top seed Samantha Teran despatched US opponent Latasha Khan
in straight games in the final of the Women's Windy City Open
to win the inaugural WISPA World Tour squash event at the
University Club of Chicago in Chicago,
USA.
The Mexican's 9-2, 9-7, 9-2 victory gives Teran her second Tour title
in the USA this year, and the ninth of her career.
Beddoes Bursts Through In Chicago
England's Emma Beddoes claimed one of the best results of her
career when she upset fourth seed Aisling Blake in the
quarter-finals of the Women's Windy City Open to win an
unexpected place in the last four of the WISPA World Tour
squash event at the University Club of Chicago in Chicago,
USA.
Fifth
seed Beddoes, the 22-year-old world No54 from Leamington Spa in
Warwickshire, took just three games to defeat her Irish opponent -
ranked more than 20 places higher - 9-6, 9-4, 9-4.
Top
seed Samantha Teran now awaits Beddoes after the Mexican beat
sixth-seeded Canadian Tara Mullins 9-2, 9-1, 9-3.
Latasha Khan
led US interest into the semi-finals with a comfortable 9-2, 9-2, 9-7
win over No8 seed Kirsty McPhee. The second seed from Seattle
now takes on Louise Crome after the third seed from New Zealand
defeated Dutch opponent Karen Kronemeyer 9-0, 10-8, 9-2.
Teran & Kahn On Course For Final
Showdown In Windy City

seeds Samantha Teran and Latasha Khan are on course to
meet in a WISPA World Tour squash event final for the second

Women's Windy City Open at the University Club of Chicago

Teran,
the favourite from Mexico, crushed Argentinean qualifier Fernanda
Rocha 9-1, 9-0, 9-0 while Khan, the second seed from Seattle,

to win her eighth Tour title
