November 26, 2012 - In the women’s draw there was to be no repeat for yesterday’s giant-kille Ho Ka Po as the HK youngster lost in straight games to Kylie Lindsay, who was joined in the main draw by fellow Kiwi Amanda Landers-Murphy who came from two games down to deny another Lee from Hong Kong, Carmen.
There were two marginal (according to the world ranking) upsets as Australian Melody Francis, 3-1 over Lauren Selby, and Nicolette Fernandes, 3-0 over Lucie Fialova, advanced to the main draw where they face Low Wee Wern and Samantha Teran respectively.
Completing the qualifiers were Lauren Briggs, Joshana Chinappa, Coline Aumard - making it three out of three for the French - and Heba El Torky.
The first round of the main draws take place at Hong Kong Squash Centre over the next two days.
