Top seed Chris Simpson led a trio of Englishmen through to the semi-finals of the BC Honda Dealers Open, the $10,000 PSA World Tour squash event at Jericho Tennis Club in Vancouver, Canada.
The Guernsey-born 23-year-old beat fifth-seeded compatriot Lewis Walters 11-7, 9-11, 11-5, 11-8 to set up an all-English semi-final against Joe Lee, the No3 seed.
Lee, runner-up in last week's GoodLife Open in Ottawa, defeated one of three Canadians to lose out at the quarter-final stage. The 21-year-old from Surrey beat Vancouver-based qualifier Justin Todd 11-1, 11-9, 14-12.
It is Czech number one Jan Koukal who stands in the way of an all-English final. The second seed from Prague - who is competing in his 18th Tour event this year - will face Devon 22-year-old James Snell after beating Canada's 8th seed Tyler Hamilton 11-9, 11-6, 11-5.
Snell, the fourth seed, reached the semi-finals after resisting a determined fightback from Andrew McDougall - eventually beating the No6 seed from Calgary 11-5, 11-7, 3-11, 7-11, 11-4 in 57 minutes.
Semi-final line-up:
[1] Chris Simpson (ENG) v [3] Joe Lee (ENG)
