from Merseyside, 5-9 9-3 9-6 9-1 in one hour.
Sarah Kippax, the second seed, also had to fight back from a game down to

The 20-year-old from Merseyside stemmed a fight back by fourth seed McPhee,
from Yorkshire, to win 9-3 10-8 8-10 1-9 9-2.
Stoker now faces Samantha Teran, the top seed from Mexico who ended unseeded
