In Saturday’s semifinal, Miller fell to second seed Emma Beddoes of England 11-6, 3-11, 11-8, 11-6. Beddoes will face top-seed Latasha Khan of the U.S., in the championship final on Sunday. Khan defeated Lisa Camilleri of Australia in the other semi 11-5, 6-11, 11-9, 11-8.

The event is a stop on the 2009-10 Canadian Squash Circuit and a tournament on the Women’s International Squash Players Association circuit.

Miller, Canada’s top-ranked international player at number-42 in the world and seeded fourth here, is still regaining her form after suffering a calf injury this past spring. She spent most of the summer in rehabilitation.

“It was a pretty close match and I had my opportunities,” said Miller, a three-time Canadian champion. “I guess I played O.K. I just haven’t been back playing long enough to keep the momentum going. But overall I was pleased with how I did.”

Beddoes started strong but Miller responded with some impeccable volley drops to take the second game handily and kept the pace partway through the third before losing some steam.
