Atkinson Triumphs
In Liberty Bell Open
Vanessa Atkinson
kicked off her 2009 campaign in great style by winning the
Women's Liberty Bell Open in the USA.
The top seed beat fourth seed Joshna Chinappa 11-7, 11-7,
11-5 in the final of the $11,000 WISPA World Tour squash
event at Berwyn Squash & Fitness Club in Berwyn,
Philadelphia.
Atkinson, a former World Open champion and ten times

title - but the first since March 2006.
Joshna Jettisons Jaclyn For Place
In Liberty Bell Final
Joshna Chinappa,
the fourth seed from India, upset second-seeded New Zealander
Jaclyn Hawkes in the semi-finals of the Women's Liberty Bell
Open to reach the final of the $11,000 WISPA World Tour
squash event at Berwyn Squash & Fitness Club in Berwyn,
USA.
The
22-year-old from Chennai fought back from a game down to overcome
Aucklander Hawkes 8-11, 12-10, 11-9, 11-8 to reach her third Tour
final in a row.
Chinappa will face favourite Vanessa Atkinson, the former world
number one from the Netherlands. After being stretched to five games in
the earlier quarter-final by Hong Kong's eighth seed Joey Chan,
Atkinson despatched Latasha Khan - the third seed from the USA -
11-6, 11-6, 11-7 to reach the 35th WISPA final of her career.
Seeds Scatter In Liberty Bell Open
Home hopes for success in the Women's Liberty Bell Open were
boosted when US qualifier Amanda Sobhy upset sixth seed Elise
Ng to reach the quarter-finals of the $11,000 WISPA World Tour
squash event at Berwyn Squash & Fitness Club in Berwyn,
USA.
The
15-year-old from New York despatched experienced Hong Kong 27-year-old
Ng 11-9, 12-10, 11-6 and will now face New Zealand's second seed
Jaclyn Hawkes for a place in the last four.
Australian qualifier Heidi Mather also upset the form book by
beating Dutch opponent Karen Kronemeyer, the No7 seed, 11-7,
11-7, 12-10.
But
England's Lauren Siddall was the highest seed to fall. The fifth
seed from Yorkshire failed to exploit her first game advantage against
Kylie Lindsay, going down to the New Zealander 7-11, 13-11, 11-7,
12-10.
