El Torky Lands Biggest Tour Title In Lagos

Egypt's Heba El Torky landed the biggest WSA World Tour title of her career when she defeated Dutch champion Milou van der Heijden in the final of the Women's Lagos International Classic at Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos, Nigeria.

The 23-year-old top seed from Alexandria reached the climax of the WSA Tour 15 squash event without dropping a game.

Her unexpected opponent, the third seed, made it through to the biggest final of her career after upsetting Deon Saffery, the No2 seed from Wales, in the semi-finals.

But El Torky, the world No29, was too strong for the 23-year-old from Eindhoven ranked 20 places lower - winning 11-7, 11-7, 11-9 in 35 minutes to claim this inaugural WSA title in Nigeria's largest city.

The win marks the eighth WSA Tour title of El Torky's career - and her third this year.
