WSA: Waters and Wee Wern upset KL seedings
Wee Wern and Waters Upset Seedings
Malaysian Low Wee Wern made use of the home advantage against Madeline Perry in round two of the CIMB Malaysian Squash Open Championships 2012.
The 11th seed took just over an hour in front of a home crowd to see off the experienced Irishwoman in four games to book her quarter-final slot and record her best World Series progression so far in 2012. Wee Wern will next face Jenny Duncalf of England, who came through a strong three-game win against Camille Serme.
Laura Massaro ensured complete attendance among the top four seeds after beating Dipika Pallikal in four games. The Englishwoman led after the first two games despite being forced to a 14-12 tiebreak in the second, but dropped the third game to the young Indian No.1. She regained her composure however to claim a place in the quarters where she will play sixteen-year-old Egyptian prodigy Nour El Sherbini.
El Sherbini booked second consecutive World Series quarter-final slot after dispatching fellow teenage Emily Whitlock of England in four games.
