Khan Captures Sun & Surf Crown In Vancouver

13 Aug 2007

America's Latasha Khan swept to victory in the Women's Sun & Surf Jericho Open after beating England's Emma Beddoes in the final of the WISPA World Tour event at the Jericho Tennis Club in Vancouver, Canada.

It was a match too far for the 21-year-old sixth seed from Warwick, who had upset two higher-seeded players to achieve her maiden appearance in a WISPA Tour final.

But top seed Khan's experience shone through as she clinched her 9-6, 9-1, 9-0 victory in 37 minutes.

It was a case of 'third time lucky' in North America this year for the 34-year-old from Seattle who finished as runner-up in the Southport Open in the USA in February and the Toronto Open in Canada in April.

The win marked Khan's second career WISPA World Tour title, in her seventh final.

Final:
[1] Latasha Khan (USA) bt [6] Emma Beddoes (ENG) 9-6, 9-1, 9-0 (37m)
