India's Joshna Chinappa ended 17-year-old Tong Tsz-Wing's brave run in the Women's Chairman's Cup in Hong Kong when she beat the local qualifier in today's (Thursday) quarter-finals of the $16,000 WISPA World Tour squash event at the Hong Kong Squash Centre.
Tong upset South Korea's No7 seed Song Sun-Mi in the first round. But fourth seed Chinappa was too strong for the teenager, winning 12-10, 11-5, 11-9 to secure a place in the semi-finals.
The 23-year-old from Chennai will face top seed Jaclyn Hawkes, the New Zealander who needed four games to overcome Elise Ng, the No8 seed from Hong Kong, 11-9, 9-11, 11-3, 11-7.
Donna Urquhart claimed her expected place in the last four – but the third seed from Australia was taken the full distance by England's sixth seed Lauren Siddall before prevailing 11-9, 9-11, 11-9, 10-12, 12-10.
The 23-year-old from New South Wales will now meet Hong Kong's second seed Rebecca Chiu, a 4-11, 11-5, 11-7, 11-7 winner over fellow countrywoman Joey Chan.
