Karen Cruises To Capital Conquest

Top seed Karen Kronemeyer, from the Netherlands, cruised to title success in the Women's NY Capital District Open after beating New Zealander Joelle King in the final of the inaugural WISPA World Tour squash event at Siena College in Loudonville in the US state of New York.

Melbourne-born Kronemeyer, from The Hague, romped through to the final without dropping a game, beating sixth-seeded Egyptian Eman El Amir in the semi-finals.

In the other semi, third seed King dismissed surprise opponent Alexandra Norman - an unseeded Montreal-based 24-year-old from England making her Tour debut - to reach her first WISPA final.

But Kronemeyer was unstoppable in the final, racing to a 9-0, 9-3, 9-1 win over King to claim the third Tour title of her career.

Final:
[1] Karen Kronemeyer (NED) bt [3] Joelle King (NZL) 9-1, 9-7, 9-3
