Tesni Survives Heba Test For First Tour Title by Howard Harding May 24, 2015
- Welsh number one Tesni Evans celebrated a long-awaited breakthrough
in the Women's Sharm El Sheikh International Squash Championship in
Egypt where she upset Heba El Torky in the final of the WSA
International 25 event at the Youth & Sports City Hall in Sharm El
Sheikh to win the first Tour title of her career.
It was the No.7 seed's second triumph over a higher-ranked opponent - and her third five-game win in a row.
Evans, ranked 31 in the world, fought back from 2/1 down - and overcame
a deficit in the decider to beat home favourite El Torky, ranked five
places higher, 12-10, 6-11, 7-11, 11-7, 11-5 in 67 minutes.
"I'm very happy to win this," Evans (pictured above, right, in the
final) told www.squashsite.co.uk afterwards. "I was 2/1 down, and at
that point, I was really down.
"I couldn't see a way through, I couldn't see the end," explained the 22-year-old from Rhyl.
"So I told myself, this is it. Push. And when I got the fourth, I thought, OK, just one more game."
