Ottawa's Samantha Cornett Reports From London
fromDailySquashReport.com
May14, 2012 - Deep River, Ontario's popular Sam Cornett won the second of two qualifiers today to advance to the prestigious first round of the $95,000 WSA Allam British Open.
Cornett beat world #26 Line Hansen of Denmark 8-11 11-9 11-1 12-10 in 40 minutes and was understandably thrilled in this report to DSR:
Best win of my career so far. And I'm so excited to have a crack at such a good player as Madeline!
Today was my day, I wasn't nervous, I wasn't too relaxed.
It took me a game to figure out that I could do it, but once past that one I didn't question it!
It took some serious hard work to wear her down, I'd like to think I made some great gets, and I think the longer rallies put her off a bit today. She made some mistakes, and wasn't as patient as I expected her to be, as we've played a couple of times in the past (neither of which went my way at all).
So happy with my play today, hoping to keep it up and maybe even bring more tomorrow.
The other matches were all very exciting, with so many upsets. I knew a lot of people were hungry for the main draw, and I think the seeds felt the pressure today.
Cheers
Sam
