Britons Triumph In Dayton
There was a double British success in the EBS Dayton Open Squash Championships when Scotland's John White and England's Linda Elriani lifted the titles in the PSA Tour and WISPA World Tour events in the US state of Ohio.

White, the top seed, faced the surprise star Ramy Ashour in the men's final.  The 18-year-old Egyptian qualifier upset a host of seeds – including second-seeded Finn Olli Tuominen in the semis - before reaching the men's final.

But White, the experienced former world number one who is now US-based, was too strong for the Cairo teenager, winning 11-5 11-3 11-6 to pick up the ninth PSA Tour trophy of his career – but his first since moving to Philadelphia.

The women's final featured the two top seeds, with the experienced favourite Elriani having to fight back from 1/2 down to beat Egypt's second seed Omneya Abdel Kawy 9-5 6-9 7-9 9-5 9-6.  Elriani, the world No6 from Eastbourne in Sussex, was celebrating her 30^th appearance in a world tour final, and her 15^th title triumph.

The 18-year-old world junior champion from Cairo, who upset Malaysia's third seed Ong Beng Hee in the first round, will now face Finland's second seed Olli Tuominen for a place in the final.

There will be a surprise Egyptian in the other semi-final when Mohammed Abbas takes on Scotland's top seed John White. Abbas, the fifth seed, upset fourth-seeded fellow countryman Wael El Hindi 11-10 10-11 11-5 11-2.

White, aiming to win his first Dayton title, overcame a first game deficit to beat Australia's eighth seed Cameron Pilley 8-11 11-4 11-4 11-7.

The top two seeds will meet in the women's final. English favourite Linda Elriani beat long-time English rival Fiona Geaves, the third seed, 9-3 9-1 6-9 9-5, while Egypt's second seed Omneya Abdel Kawy cruised to a 9-2 9-0 9-4 win over Scotland's fourth seed Pamela Nimmo.

Beng Hee Bounced By Teenager Ramy
Egypt's world junior champion Ramy Ashour scored a notable scalp on the senior circuit when he upset Malaysia's third seed Ong Beng Hee in the men's first round of the EBS Dayton Open Squash Championships in the US state of Ohio.

Ashour, the 18-year-old from Cairo who won the world U19 title when he was only 16, recovered from a game down to beat Beng Hee 10-11 11-9 11-3 7-11 11-5.

Australia's unseeded Dan Jenson also upset the seedings by beating England's sixth seed Jonathan Kemp 11-6 9-11 3-11 11-9 11-5

All four top seeds progressed through to the quarter-finals of the women's event, with English favourite Linda Elriani crushing compatriot Rebecca Botwright 9-2 9-0 9-0 to earn a semi-final clash with long-time English rival Fiona Geaves, the third seed.
