Scott Soldiers On In London Open

England's Scott Handley continued to make progress in the Anscombe & Ringland London Open after his triumph over squash legend Jansher Khan in the first round of the inaugural Tour event at the Cumberland Club in London.

The third seed from Oxfordshire battled for five games to overcome France's No7 seed Mathieu Castagnet 8-11, 11-4, 11-8, 7-11, 11-2.

Handley will now face a second Khan from Pakistan - qualifier Majid Khan, who continued his giant-killing run in the event by beating sixth-seeded Dutchman Tom Hoevenaars 11-7, 10-11 (0-2), 11-6, 11-8. The 23-year-old from Peshawar upset top seed Bradley Ball in the first round.

A Khan also made waves in the women's event when Carla Khan - grand-daughter of the great Azam Khan - upset England's third seed Sarah Kippax 10-9, 9-5, 9-4. The 26-year-old UK-based Pakistani will now face top-seeded Englishwoman Dominique Lloyd-Walter, who beat India's No5 seed Joshna Chinappa 9-7, 9-4, 9-5.
