Women's Final
Nicol David v Raneem El Weleily
The world #1 hasn't looked entirely comfortable on the Drexel stadium court, going to back to last year's upset at the hands of Kasey Brown. Nicol righted the ship just in time in the fifth yesterday, with some help from a tiring Joelle King. David has had career long ownage of El Weleily--until last month's Malaysian Open where Raneem turned the tables on Nicol's home turf with an 11-2 in the fourth close-out in the championship match. On her best day El Weleily has more game than David, but you never know what you are going to get from Raneem.
El Weleily 3-2
Men's Final
Ramy Ashour v Gregory Gaultier
After a less-than-dominant quarterfinal struggle against Peter Barker, Ashour appeared to find the range in the third and fourth games yesterday against Matthew. Gaultier is the fresher player - he got off the court in 53 minutes last night with world #1 Willstrop, while Ashour went 74 minutes with Matthew and 75 with Barker in a 24-hour period. Ramy has dominated Greg in head-to-heads, so some doubt could creep in. But Gaultier's game is right where he wants it, and the title can be his.
Gaultier 3-2
