Camilleri Captures Wah Cantt Crown
Australian
Lisa Camilleri denied the organisers home success in the Women's
POF WISPA Wah Cantt Open when she beat Pakistan's Maria Toor Pakay in
the final of the $10,000 WISPA World Tour squash event in its fourth at
the Jahangir Khan Squash Complex in Wah Cantt,
Pakistan.
Top seed
Camilleri, the world No41 from Queensland competing in her seventh Tour final of
the year, was facing WISPA final debutante Maria Toor Pakay, a 17-year-old from
Islamabad playing in only the tenth Tour event of her brief career.
After dropping
the first two games, the Pakistan teenager fought back from 3/7 down in the
third, then saved a match-ball at 8-10 before going on to take the game to
reduce the deficit.
But too many
unforced errors by Pakay in the fourth ultimately saw 25-year-old Camilleri
clinch an 11-6, 11-8, 10-12, 11-6 victory after 34 minutes.
Camilleri, the
first Australian to win the Pakistan WISPA title, is celebrating the sixth Tour
title of her career - and her fifth this year!
Maria Makes WISPA Final Debut In Wah Cantt
Pakistan squash star Maria Toor Pakay will make her debut in a WISPA
World Tour event final after beating Egypt's Kanzy Emad El-Defrawy in
the semi-finals of the Women's POF WISPA Wah Cantt Open at the
Jahangir Khan Squash Complex in Wah Cantt,
Pakistan.
The second seed from Islamabad will face Australian favourite Lisa Camilleri
in the climax of the $10,000 WISPA Tour event in its fourth year in
the Pakistan city.
Toor Pakay, the 17-year-old who became her country's national champion in 2007,
ended the run of unseeded 14-year-old Egyptian schoolgirl Kanzy Emad El-Defrawy
12-10, 6-11, 11-8, 11-5 in 33 minutes.
The other semi-final was concluded in exactly the same time - when Queenslander
Camilleri despatched England's No3 seed Fiona Moverley 11-8, 11-6, 11-13,
11-2.
Unlike Pakay, the Australian is celebrating the seventh Tour final of her career
- and her sixth this year! The 25-year-old is now one win away from her fifth
title success.
Kanzy Canters Into Wah Cantt Semis
Egyptian schoolgirl
Kanzy Emad El-Defrawy
continued her giant-killing run in the Women's POF WISPA Wah Cantt Open
when she upset her second successive local seed in the quarter-finals of
the $10,000 WISPA World Tour squash event at the Jahangir Khan Squash
Complex in Wah Cantt, Pakistan.
The championship moved comfortably into its second day of action in the Pakistan
city despite two major suicide bomb blasts 24 hours earlier in which more than
60 people were killed.
Unseeded El-Defrawy, a 14-year-old from Alexandria making her debut in the main
draw of a Tour event, despatched eighth seed Rushna Mehboob, from Lahore,
11-5, 11-3, 11-2 in just 13 minutes.
The plucky youngster will now face her third Pakistani opponent when she meets
Maria Toor Pakay for a place in the final. The 17-year-old Pakistan
number one from Islamabad beat compatriot Zoya Khalid 11-0, 11-5, 11-3.
The other semi-final will be an Anglo/Australian clash between top seed Lisa
Camilleri and third seed Fiona Moverley. Queenslander Camilleri
defeated Egypt’s fifth seed Nouran El Torky 11-8, 11-4, 11-4, while
Moverley, from Yorkshire, beat unseeded Pakistani Saima Shoukat 11-3,
11-7, 11-6.
Kanzy Captures Ashraf Crown
Local star Muqaddas Ashraf, the No4 seed, crashed out of the Women's
POF WISPA Wah Cantt Open, after a shock straight games defeat by unseeded
Egyptian schoolgirl Kanzy Emad El-Defrawy in the first round of the
$10,000 WISPA World Tour squash event at the Jahangir Khan Squash
Complex in Wah Cantt, Pakistan.
El-Defrawy, a 14-year-old from Alexandria making her debut in the main draw of a
Tour event, despatched 21-year-old Ashraf 11-4, 11-5, 11-4 in just 18 minutes –
and now faces another Pakistani for a place in the semi-finals.
Rushna Mehboob,
the eighth seed from Lahore, needed only four minutes to claim her place in the
quarter-finals, beating Gul Zaman after her fellow countrywoman, a
qualifier, retired injured after one game.
Ashraf’s surprise early exit was balanced by the surprise success of fellow
Pakistani Saima Shoukat – the unseeded 23-year-old from Lahore who ousted
sixth-seeded Iranian Sima Padbod 11-7, 11-6, 11-5.
