The match started off as a close affair. Tania started well to take the first game. Linda fought back to take the next two games.

Tania started very well in the fourth to go 3-0 up, when she then crashed into Linda causing her to limp a little. Linda then requested an injury break for a dead leg and had an off-court physio come to help.

Unfortunately for Linda, she had to retire injured after 55 minutes of play.

Tania now has a tough quarter final match, on Saturday, against Carol Owens the World Number 2. All the rest of the matches are now being played at the National Squash Centre in Manchester.
