South African Siyoli Waters put paid to all-Egyptian finals in the Egyptian Circuit No1 after upsetting second seed Kanzy Emad El-Defrawy in the women's semi-finals of the WISPA World Tour 8 squash event at the Shooting Club in Cairo.
After dropping the first game, the fourth seed from Cape Town survived a tie-break second game before going on to claim an impressive 7-11, 13-11, 11-3, 4-11, 11-7 victory over El-Defrawy, the world No41 from Cairo.
Now in the second Tour final of her career – and her second of the year – world No64 Waters will face favourite Heba El Torky, the world No36 from Alexandria.
El Torky also had to come back from a game down to beat England's third seed Emily Whitlock, the 17-year-old recently-crowned European junior champion, 8-11, 11-5, 11-2, 11-3.
The 20-year-old Egyptian is celebrating her fourth WISPA Tour final – and will be looking to extend her unbeaten record in finals to date.
