Graingers On Course For World Masters Family Double In Hong Kong

At opposite ends of the age range, former world No1 Natalie Grainger and her mother Jean Grainger are on course for a family double at the WSF World Masters Squash Championships in Hong Kong.

More than 750 players from all corners of the globe are competing in 18 World Masters events - from Men's and Women's Over-35 through to Men's Over-80 categories - with action split between the Hong Kong Squash Centre and Hong Kong Football Club.

In today's semi-finals of the Women's Over-35 event, USA-based top seed Natalie brushed aside South African Farrah Fenner 11-6, 12-10, 11-9 to set up a final against second-seeded Australian Melissa Martin.

Meanwhile favourite Jean downed fellow South African Dawn Kaiser to reach the Over-70 final where she will take on compatriot Sheena Worwood in a bid to win her fourth World Masters title after successes at O55, O60 and O65.

Australian Brian Cook put paid to the chances of a Grainger treble when he defeated Jean's husband Chris Grainger 11-8, 10-12, 11-4, 12-10 in today's Men's Over-65 semi-finals. Top seed Cook will now face surprise opponent Frikkie Bester, a 3/4 seed from South Africa, in the final.

But Over-35 underdog Melissa Martin will also have a family double on her mind while her top-seeded husband Brett Martin is still in the running for the Men's Over-50 title. The former world No2, competing in his first Masters championship, despatched England's Eamonn Price in today's quarter-finals and will now meet Singapore's Peter Hill for a place in the final.

Australian Dave Fuller became the only unseeded player to survive today's action unscathed. The 55-year-old ousted England's 9/16 seed Dermot Hurford in the Men's Over-55 quarter-finals and will now face fellow Australian Geoffrey Davenport - the top seed who boasts two World titles at both Over-45 and Over-50 - for a place in the final.
