Top Seeds To Contest St Louis Final

24 Apr 2010

Top seeds Alana Miller and Amanda Sobhy will contest the final of the Women's Racquet Club International after prevailing in four-game semi-finals of the $12,150 WISPA World Tour squash event at The Racquet Club in St Louis, USA.

In an all-Canadian semi, favourite Alana Miller recovered from a game down to beat third seed Miranda Ranieri 6-11, 11-9, 11-8, 11-6.

The 29-year-old world No38 from Winnipeg is celebrating the tenth WISPA Tour final of her career - but her first this year.

New York teenager Amanda Sobhy continued her campaign to keep the title in US hands by defeating Guyana's Nicolette Fernandes 12-10, 11-5, 9-11, 11-2.

The 16-year-old second seed, hoping to emulate compatriot Latasha Khan's title triumph last year, is celebrating her third Tour final appearance after becoming one of the youngest ever winners of a WISPA title in Philadelphia in January.

Semi-finals:
[2] Amanda Sobhy (USA) bt [4] Nicolette Fernandes (GUY) 12-10, 11-5, 9-11, 11-2
[1] Alana Miller (CAN) bt [3] Miranda Ranieri (CAN) 6-11, 11-9, 11-8, 11-6
