New Zealand’s Joelle King has booked her place in the semi-finals of the Manchester Squash Open after a win over Malaysia’s Aifa Azman in three games.

King raced out to a 7-2 lead in the opening game, hitting powerfully to the back and not missing a corner. Azman struggled to find any kind of rhythm and spent most of the game struggling to make an impact.

World No 5 King secured the opening game 11-3 in just six minutes.

The momentum continued for King in the second game as she maintained her accurate hitting and severe attacks. Azman was forced to do multiple tough movements that only gave King a further advantage.

After securing the second game 11-5, King booked her place in the last four of the tournament closing out the match 11-6 in the third game.
