13-Nov, Final:
Engy masters Latasha
After two marathon semi-finals it was always likely that Latasha Khan
and Engy Kheirallah might suffer come the final.
In the event it was top seed Khan who was feeling the effects more, as
Kheirallah, the second seed, cruised to a straight-games victory in just
28 minutes to claim her fourth career WISPA title.

 12-Nov, Semi-Finals:
Top Two Tested
in Atlanta
The
top two seeds will contest the final of the Atlanta Masters in Georgia,
but both were made to work hard to reach their expected place in the
final.
Top seed Latasha Khan maintained hopes of a home victory as she
prevailed in a see-saw five-game match against Becky Botwright, while
Egypt's Engy Kheirallah came through a similar encounter with
Mexico's third seeded Samantha Teran - both matches lasting 85 minutes and
Kheirallah coming off court in need of treatment!
11-Nov, Quarters:
Top Four Through in Atlanta
 The top four seeds will contest the semi-finals of the Westin Atlanta
Masters, but only top seed Latasha Khan managed to win in straight
games.
Khan cruised past nem PanAmerican champion Alana Miller and will face
England's Becky Botwright in the semis after Botwright recovered
from losing the first game 9/0 against Carolyn Russell.
In the bottom half Mexico's Samanatha Teran, still smarting after
losing the PanAmerican final, edged past England's Georgina Stoker 10/9 in
the fourth, but it was even tougher for her semi-final opponent Engy
Kheirallah.
Second seed Kheirallah needed 92 minutes to overcome the challenge
of Italy's Manuela Manetta. After a titanic struggle the Italian tired
towards the end - hardly surprising given her 75-minute battle in the
first round.
10-Nov, Round One:
 Manetta Masters
Fernandes in Atlanta
The first round of the Westin Atlanta Masters saw a tremendous comeback
from Italy's Manuela Manetta, recovering from 2-0 down to beat
Guyana's Nicolette Fernandes in a 75-minute encounter.
Manetta now faces second seed Engy Kheirallah in the
quarter-finals.
Two seeds fell on day one, with Georgina Stoker and Carolyn
Russell upsetting sixth and eighth seeds Katie Patrick and Eman El
Amir, respectively.
