- Top-seeded Siyoli Waters of South Africa beat second seed Lauren Selby of England in four games yesterday to capture the $7000 Dread Open at the Sports Club/LA in Washington, DC.

It is the second tour victory of the summer for the 28-year-old Waters, who beat Song Sun-Mi of Korea to nab the Hitachi Queensland Australia Open in July.

Selby’s previous best 2011 result was a semi-final effort at the Edinburg Open in Scotland last January.

Selby, ranked #57 by WISPA, will return to European club play while #51 Waters heads to southern California where she is the fifth-seed in the $10,000 Orange County Open, beginning Thursday.
