Nour El Tayeb battled through in Cleveland

Perry meets Waters in all-English quarter-final
By Squash Mad Correspondents

Top seed Nour El Tayeb was pushed all the way by Sabrina Sobhy before battling back to reach the quarter-finals of the Cleveland Classic.

It was a dramatic, competitive encounter in which Sobhy displayed how much her game has improved after setting up a training base in Egypt to practise with the world’s best.

Leading two games to one she must have sensed a major upset was on the cards but El Tayeb, who was runner-up in the Weymuller Open at Heights Casino last week, fought back to take control and win 8-11, 11-3, 6-11, 11-5, 11-9 despite requiring a 15-minute injury break.

Farida Mohamed (EGY) v Salma Hany (EGY) 11-9, 9-11, 11-9, 11-4
Salma could not find her natural length and accuracy. The young Farida got to implement her game plan of hard hitting and high pace to beat the No.7 seed and make the first upset of the night.

Joshna Chinappa (IND) v Menna Nasser (EGY) 12-10, 3-0 retired
After the first very competitive game, Menna had an injury and had to retire.

Annie Au (HKG) v Nadine Shahin (EGY) 11-7, 11-7, 11-6
Annie Au managed to keep the match at a slow pace, anticipating Nadine’s shots with fast movement and accuracy in the front of the court.

Sarah-Jane Perry (ENG) v Menna Hamed (EGY) 11-7, 11-7, 11-8
SJ used good line and length, moved her opponent into and out of the corners with good hold and touch. Menna’s game plan was aggressive, but she could not find her accuracy.

[6] Alison Waters (ENG) v Mayar Hany (EGY) 18-16, 11-3, 11-3
A very long and competitive first game, with a lot of variety in shots and pace. Alison used her physicality to win in three straight games. Her win sets up an all-English quarter-final against Perry.

Olivia Blatchford Clyne (USA)v Victoria Lust (ENG) 11-7, 12-10, 11-7
A very competitive match between two players ranked two positions apart. Very close match all the way through. Olivia managed the important stages of the match better.

Joelle King (NZL) v Hollie Naughton (CAN) 11-5, 11-7, 11-4
Hollie put up a good fight, especially in the first game. Joelle was in control and kept her pace and variety of shots to win in three.
