The next time that the sisters will feature in the same competition will be in two weeks when the Women's World Open takes place in their home town of Seattle - where a more favourable draw will ensure that the only place that the pair could meet would be in the final! Meanwhile, Shabana now meets Germany's sixth seed Sabine Schoene who also took five games to beat Egypt's Maha Zein 7/9 9/4 9/2 5/9 9/2. advertisement advertisement Issued on behalf of WISPA by Howard Harding For further information: Howard Harding Email: HowHard@aol.com 12 October 1999
