Kippax
Dominates Hampton Squash Week
Sarah Kippax claimed
her first title in three years after winning the Tour 10 Hampton
Squash Week event in Southampton, New York at the weekend.
Seeded first for the event, the Cheshire-born Englishwoman was yet to
drop a game heading into the final after making short work of early
round opponents Salma Hany, Lucie Fialova and fourth seed
semi-finalist Samantha Cornett.
Her opponent in the final, experienced second seed and home-hope Latasha
Khan faced slightly more opposition as she progressed through the
competition. The 39-year-old from Seattle breezed past qualifier Celia
Allamargot in the first round, but dropped a tie-break first game
against Farah Abdel Meguid of Egypt in the quarters. A slow
start cost Khan the first game in her semi-final contest too, but she
recovered to beat Misaki Kobayashi in four games to ensure her
spot in the final.
The American fought back excellently after losing the first game of the
final, and stormed through an 11-2 second game to level the score. Kippax
was always the more dangerous of the pair however and closed the match
out in four games. The world No.25 claims the eighth WSA World Tour
title of her career and will feature as second seed for this week's WSA
Tour 15 Squash On Fire 2012 event in Washington D.C.
