US Open Squash 2023: Olivia Fiechter keeps home hopes alive

American No.2 Olivia Fiechter joined compatriot Amanda Sobhy in the quarter-finals of the US Open following a 3-0 win over Egypts Salma Hany at Philadelphias Arlen Specter US Squash Center.

The World No.9 had been unable to beat Hany in their previous two matches on the PSA World Tour, but hit her targets with accuracy to complete a 13-11, 11-4, 11-7 victory after 38 minutes of action.

Fiechter, who reached the U.S. Open semi-finals back in 2021, will go up against 2017 champion Nour El Tayeb in the next round, with El Tayeb getting the better of Englands Lucy Beecroft.

Im not going to lie, that win was huge for me, said Fiechter after the match.

I put in a really hard summer training block and Ive had some good performances, but Ive also had some not so good performances this year and Im trying to find that balance and blend with some changes I made this summer while incorporating my natural game.

Thats the first time Ive beaten Salma [Hany], I knew it was going to be really challenging, shes a great player and Im really happy with that performance. I feel like Im moving the best Ive ever moved thanks to the work over so many years, but particularly this summer I definitely put a lot of work into it.

Gina Kennedy moved into the last eight for the first time after edging Rowan Elaraby in their third round clash 12-10 in the fifth.

Diego Elias

In the mens event, defending champion Diego Elias sealed his spot in the last eight after storming to a 3-0 win over Englands Nathan Lake.

It was part of several 3-0 wins on the day.
