Khan
captures
Sun & Surf
crown
in
Vancouver
America's Latasha Khan swept to victory in the Sun & Surf
Jericho Squash Open after beating England's Emma Beddoes in the
final at the Jericho Tennis Club in Vancouver, Canada.
It was a match too far for the 21-year-old sixth seed from
Warwick, who had upset two higher-seeded players to achieve her
maiden appearance in a WISPA Tour final.
But top seed Khan's experience shone through as she clinched
victory in 37 minutes.
It was a case of 'third time lucky' in North America this year
for the 34-year-old from Seattle who finished as runner-up in
the Southport Open in the USA in February and the Toronto Open
in Canada in April.
The win marked Khan's second career WISPA World Tour title, in
her seventh final.

11-Aug, Semis:
Beddoes Bursts Through
In Vancouver
 Two
successive stunning victories over higher-ranked Canadians have
taken England's Emma Beddoes into her maiden WISPA
final at the Sun & Surf Open at the Jericho Tennis Club in
Vancouver, Canada.
The 21-year-old from Warwick, a
student at Nottingham University, made her breakthrough in the quarter-finals
when she twice came from behind to defeat experienced second
seed Runa Reta.
Sixth seed Beddoes, a former
British Junior champion, stepped up her game in the semi-finals
to overcome Carolyn Russell, the No4 seed ranked more
than 20 places higher in the world.
Beddoes will meet Latasha Khan
in the final after the top seed from the USA battled back from
2-6 down in the second and 3-6 behind in the third to beat
Canadian National champion Alana Miller, the third seed, 9-2,
9-6, 10-9 in 54 minutes.

09-Aug, Round One:
Parke
Progresses In Vancouver
Celebrating her
illustrious older brother Simon's
35th
birthday in fine style, English qualifier Emma Parke
battled to a notable victory in the first round of the Sun
& Surf Jericho Squash Open when she upset No7 seed Karina
Herrera Zuniga to claim an unexpected place in the
quarter-finals.
The 33-year-old
from Yorkshire, now a PE teacher in Vancouver, beat the Mexican
3/1
and will now face top seed Latasha Khan for a place in
the semi-finals.
Khan,
the seven-times US national champion from Seattle, dismissed Canada's Rebecca Hazell.
There was a
disappointing return to WISPA Tour action after almost two years
for Khan's sister, however, when qualifier Shabana Khan
went down in straight
games to
Canada's No3 seed Alana Miller.
Miller,
in her first WISPA event since securing a surprise silver medal
in the Pan American Games last month in Brazil, will face
compatriot Tara Mullins in the next round.
