September 5, 2011 - 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.
At one stretch Waters won 15 of 16 points, but she nonetheless had to withstand two tie-break games to prevail in four: 11-6 12-10 12-14 11-2.
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.
