Charman & Macree Reach Washington Summit Summit

England's top two seeds Linda Charman and Rebecca Macree will contest the final of the Women's KWC CPA Washington Squash Summit after securing straight games successes in the semi-finals in Washington DC, USA.

Favourite Charman, the 32-year-old world No7 from Eastbourne in Sussex, dropped only three points as she cruised to a 9-0 9-3 9-0 win over former England team-mate Stephanie Brind, the sixth seed who reached the last four after a five-game upset over third seed Vicky Botwright.

The other semi-final in the new $20,000 event on the WISPA World Tour's growing US circuit was a harder-fought affair in which Macree, the No2 seed from London, removed fourth-seeded Egyptian Omneya Abdel Kawy 9-2 9-5 9-7.
