March 29, 2012 - London's Alison Waters bagged her second WSA title on Canadian soil in two weeks tonight when she beat American Latasha Khan 11-3 11-8 11-3 to capture the $11,000 Granite Club Open before an enthusiastic gallery on Bayview Avenue in Toronto.
Waters swept through the event without the loss of a game.

Sam Cornett Files Her Final Report On The Granite Club Open:
Alison Waters def Latasha Khan 3-0, 11-3, 11-8, 11-3
The finals have begun! Alison comes out strong, showing no mercy to dominate the first game. Her amazing gets and terrific volley drops left Latasha scrambling from left to right. In the second game Latasha stepped up her game and gave Alison a run for her money. The spectators’ jaws dropped watching the long, intense rallies. But it was Alison who managed to pull out a close game, going up 2-0. Stepping on to the court for the third game, Alison looked determined to close the game in 3. Alison punished Latasha with her attacking volleys, tight length, and high pace. Latasha gave it all she had but it was not enough to beat the former world number 3. With a hold and flick from the back left corner, Alison became the first champion of the hopefully annual Granite Club Open! The crowd was huge and very appreciative of the high-quality play. Now everyone’s enjoying the two free kegs! Cheers
