Teenager Amanda Sobhy kept the Racquet Club International title in
US hands as she beat Canada's Alana Miller 3/0 in the final to claim
the second WISPA title of her short career.
"It feels amazing," said the delighted winner. "I didn’t really
think about it before the match but now that it is over it just
amazing. I just called my mom and all I could hear was screaming!!!"

Top Seeds To Contest St Louis
Final
Top seeds Alana Miller and Amanda Sobhy will contest the final of
the Racquet Club International after prevailing in four-game
semi-finals at The Racquet Club in St Louis, USA.
In an all-Canadian semi, favourite Alana Miller recovered from a
game down to beat third seed Miranda Ranieri 6-11, 11-9, 11-8, 11-6.
The 29-year-old world No38 from Winnipeg is celebrating the tenth
WISPA final of her career - but her first this year.
New York teenager Amanda Sobhy continued her campaign to keep the
title in US hands by defeating Guyana's Nicolette Fernandes 12-10,
11-5, 9-11, 11-2.
The 16-year-old second seed, hoping to emulate compatriot Latasha
Khan's title triumph last year, is celebrating her third WISPA final
appearance after becoming one of the youngest ever winners of a
WISPA title in Philadelphia in January.
