Cassie Cruises To Opening WISPA Win
England's former world champion and world No1 Cassie Jackman cruised to a
comfortable straight games win on the opening day of the Artemis Women's
Edinburgh Squash Open in Scotland in her first appearance on the WISPA World
Tour since undergoing surgery on her back last September for the second time
in her career.
The 30-year-old world No7 from Norfolk, the top seed, defeated Scotland's
Susan Dalrymple 9-0 9-2 9-0 and goes on to meet compatriot Sarah Kippax, the
No6 seed, who beat New Zealand's Kylie Lindsay 9-3 9-4 9-6.
An England representative in the final is already assured as the other
quarter-final in the top half of the draw will also be an all-English affair,
between fifth seed Alison Waters and eighth seed Tina Rix. Waters despatched
Scottish qualifier Helen Macfie 9-6 9-1 9-4 while Rix registered a 9-2 9-1
9-6 win over compatriot Sarah Bowles.
