The top four seeds progressed through to the semi-finals of the Baltimore Squash Cup, but they were made to work for their places in the last four of the $10,000 PSA Tour event at Baltimore Country Club in Baltimore, USA.
South African qualifiers Jacques Swanepoel and Regardt Schonborn both tested their higher-ranked opponents. Schonborn and Bernardo Samper, the fourth seed from Colombia, were team-mates while studying together at Trinity - and their familiarity with each others games was obvious.
There were some excellent points and the match was played in a superb spirit but Samper emerged the victor 11-7, 11-9, 10-11 (0-2), 11-6 in 55 minutes - and now faces US champion Julian Illingworth for a place in the final.
Semi-final line-up:
[1] Miguel Angel Rodriguez (COL) v [3] Yasser El Halaby (EGY)
[2] Julian Illingworth (USA) v [4] Bernardo Samper (COL)
