Amanda Wins in Toronto

Just a few days after winning her third consecutive Ramsay Cup, Amanda was off to Toronto for the Granite Open. She made it past the second-seeded Rachael Grinham in the semifinals to face the world number thirteen, Omneya Abdel Kawy, in the finals.  She was able to beat the Egyptian 11-5, 11-5, 11-9 in just 36 minutes.  This WSA Silver 25 event is the biggest WSA tour title of Amanda’s career.

She has now lost only one WSA tour final in 12 appearances!
