Sobhy
It In Berwyn In a surprise all-American final of the Women's Liberty Bell
Open between two sixteen-year-olds, New York's Amanda Sobhy emerged
triumphant to win the $6,700 WISPA World Tour squash event at Berwyn
Squash & Fitness Club in Berwyn, PA, USA. Second seed Sobhy,
runner-up in the British Junior U17 Open earlier in the month, reached the
final after beating fourth seed Deon Saffery in the semi-finals - while her
opponent Olivia Blatchford, the seventh seed, made her breakthrough with a
quarter-final victory over top-seeded Italian Manuela Manetta, the 2007
champion. But Sobhy, ranked 5 in the world, was in control in the final,
winning 11-9, 11-4, 11-8 to celebrate her maiden WISPA title success in her
first WISPA final.
