Unseeded Mexican Samantha Teran recorded the best win of her career when she beat seventh seed Madeline Perry in the Women's Texas Open to claim a place in the quarter-finals of the $57,000 WISPA World Tour Gold squash event at Life Time Fitness in Plano, near Dallas, USA.
 
"This tournament gives me good luck," exclaimed the 28-year-old from Mexico City after her 12-10, 11-9, 9-11, 13-11 victory over Perry, the world No9, in 57 minutes.
 
"The first time I won against a top 20 player was in Dallas.  The last time I got to the semis against the seeding - and now here I have won against a top 10 player for the first time.
 
"I like Dallas a lot!" added world No16 Teran, Mexico's highest-ranked player of all-time.
 
Teran will now line up against Natalie Grainger, the second seed from the USA.  Suffering from a head-ache, the world No2 from Greenwich had to come from 2/1 down to overcome English qualifier Emma Beddoes 11-6, 5-11, 5-11, 11-5, 11-9.
 
Grainger is expected to meet top seed Nicol David in Sunday's final.  The world number one from Malaysia took just 27 minutes to topple English qualifier Dominique Lloyd-Walter 11-6, 11-3, 11-4.
