Amanda Sobhy
Extends WISPA Record In New England
US teenager
Amanda Sobhy extended her record as one of the most successful youngsters in
women's squash by winning the Women's New England Open in the USA
- becoming the first 16-year-old to win four WISPA World Tour titles.
Fighting back
from two games down in the climax of the $5,100 event at the Cross Courts
Squash Club in Natick, Massachusetts, the top-seeded left-hander from
New York beat 17-year-old US junior rival and fellow New Yorker Olivia
Blatchford 5-11, 8-11, 11-9, 11-6, 11-6.
It was only
two weeks ago that Sobhy upset the top seed in the final of the Racquet Club
International in St Louis to clinch her third Tour crown, thereby overtaking
Malaysia's reigning world number one Nicol David's two-title record
established as a 16-year-old in July 2000.
When
questioned after her historic success in Natick, the modest Sobhy said: "I am a
bit lucky to have come back from 2/0 down to win 3/2.
"But I am
definitely ecstatic to have won my fourth WISPA title, because these wins are
something no one can take away me!
"I've been
having such a great run from all these tournaments that I built up a lot of
confidence - but I'm glad to be done now with tournaments so I can take a break
and train."
Sobhy, who is
coached by her father Khaled Sobhy, celebrated a career-high world No39 ranking
this month. And not until 29 June will the latest WISPA star celebrate her 17th
birthday.
