KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 12 (Bernama) -- National women’s squash player Rachel Arnold advanced to the second round of the Silicon Valley Open in Redwood City, United States, after defeating compatriot Aifa Azman on Saturday.
In the first-round match held at SquashZone, the world number 20 had little trouble overcoming Aifa 11-6, 9-11, 12-10, 15-13 in 39 minutes.
Rachel, however, faces a tougher challenge in the second round when she meets world number 10 Georgina Kennedy of England.
Kennedy previously defeated her in their first encounter at the Professional Squash Association (PSA) World Championship in Egypt last year.
