Egyptian Teenager Gohar Grabs Irish Open Crown by Howard Harding April 26, 2014
- Egypt's No4 seed Nouran Ahmed Gohar clinched her second Women's
Squash Association World Tour title as a 16-year-old when she upset
second-seeded English opponent Sarah Kippax in today's final of the
Women's Cannon Kirk Homes Irish Open, the WSA Tour 15 event at
Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Club in Dublin.
The youngest player in
the draw, Gohar reached the final after beating 'giant-killer' Olivia
Blatchford, the unseeded 21-year-old from the USA who produced the
shock of the tournament when she upset Irish favourite and five-time
champion Madeline Perry.
The Cairo teenager
went into the final having gone down to Kippax, the world No22 from
Halifax, a month ago in Canada in straight games.
RESULTS: Women's Cannon Kirk Homes Irish Open, Dublin, Ireland
