Grinham, the world No11 from Queensland fresh from her maiden WISPA title triumph in last week's Apawamis Open in Rye, defeated Egypt's Eman El Amir 9-5 9-0 9-5 and now takes on Canadian qualifier Melanie Jans, who bravely battled for five games to overcome England's fifth-seeded Jenny Duncalf, a former European Junior Champion, 10-8 9-10 9-3 2-9 9-6. Welsh qualifier Tegwen Malik produced the most crushing victory, despatching American Shabana Khan for the loss of just a single point in the third game. The Welsh champion, back on the circuit after a near three-year layoff with a mystery virus, now faces New Zealand's fourth seed Shelley Kitchen who beat US-based Australian Melissa Martin 9-5 9-0 9-0. England's twice British Junior National Champion Laura Lengthorn became the third qualifier to reach the last eight when she recovered from a 9-0 drubbing in the first game to beat eighth-seeded Scot Wendy Maitland 0-9 9-1 9-6 3-9 9-2. The Lancashire lass next meets English county team-mate Vicky Botwright, the third seed, who defeated Australia's Amelia Pittock 7-9 9-7 9-3 9-7.
