Serme Continues English Cull At Carol Weymuller Open
Semi-finals: [1] Nicol David (MAS) bt [3] Raneem El Weleily (EGY) 11-8, 11-7, 11-4 Camille Serme (FRA) bt [2] Laura Massaro (ENG) 12-10, 11-6, 11-4
France's unseeded Camille Serme celebrated her third successive English scalp in the Carol Weymuller Open in New York when she dethroned defending champion Laura Massaro to set up a final of the Women's Squash Association Gold 50 event celebrating its 40th anniversary at The Heights Casino in Brooklyn against top seed Nicol David.
Serme is enjoying the tournament of her life: Earlier upsets against Londoner Alison Waters, the world No4, and Yorkshire's Jenny Duncalf, the world No6, took the world No10 from Creteil to a surprise semi where she faced her toughest hurdle, world No2 Massaro, the in-form title-holder.
"Camille started off the match very well and very quickly found her rhythm and was lunging well and moving Laura around the court," explained Heights Casino Director of Squash Linda Elriani. "Laura looked unusually tentative and made some uncharacteristic errors."
