Samantha Celebrates Subway Success

Top seed Samantha Teran produced a 'stellar performance' against second seed Sharon Wee in the final of the Women's Subway Goshen Open to win the $17,000 WISPA World Tour squash event in its fourth year in Goshen in the US state of Indiana - making up for the disappointment of finishing as runner-up last year.

The Mexican favourite came out on fire in the first game with amazing boasts and backhand drops that left Wee standing - "and the crowd wondering if they would even have a chance to finish their first drink," commented tournament organiser Jim Wellington.

The second saw Wee show her brilliance, both with unreachable short touch and straight shots played with such deception that sometimes Teran could only watch.

The steady character of the match, and the real battle of games three and four was all Teran. "She was so fast, played the ball so early, and used the whole court so well that Wee was relegated to a defensive role, and Sharon really needed the initiative to do well," Wellington explained.

"It was a tough fight and a great tournament for the Malaysian number two, and a stellar, attacking performance, worthy of a Tour 12 title for the Mexican star."

The victory marks the third WISPA World Tour title of the year for the 27-year-old from Mexico City who celebrated a career-high world number 19 ranking in April.

Now with ten tour titles to her name since her maiden success five years ago, Teran boasts a remarkable 83% success rate in WISPA finals!

Final:
[1] Samantha Teran (MEX) bt [2] Sharon Wee (MAS) 9-1, 3-9, 9-2, 9-2 (38m)
