Teran Strikes Back To Topple Mather

Unseeded Mexican Samantha Teran survived the "best game of the night", according to promoter Andre Maur, when she beat sixth seed Heidi Mather 10-9 in the fifth in a 90-minute quarter-final thriller in the Women's Atlanta Squash Masters in Georgia, USA.

Teran was two games down, and faced match-ball in the third game, when she fought back to beat the Australian 3-9 1-9 9-4 9-7 10-9 to reach the semi-finals.

The Mexican will need all the energy she has against top seed Natalie Grainger.  Making her comeback after a long lay-off from the WISPA Tour, Grainger brushed aside England's fifth seed Vicky Hynes 9-0 9-2 9-4.

The other semi will feature England's second seed Stephanie Brind and Australian Amelia Pittock, the third seed.
