Cassie Campion and Sarah Fitz-Gerald,both
former world champions, showed
dominance in their semi-final matches on the San Francisco 20' courts
here Friday night.
Cassie Campion, showing no ill effects
from her shaky showing in last weeks final against Fiona Geaves, played
really well last night.
"I am looking forward
to seeing where she really is at in tomorrow's final." Commented
Sarah Fitz-Gerald after the semi finals. "Watching her today I
feel she has made a vast improvemnt from Las Vegas and could be getting
back to the top form that made her so dangerous a year ago. Watching
her against Linda, I can see she has added shots to her game. The fans
can expect a great match tomorrow"
Shelley put up a good fight against
Fitz-Gerald and continues to improve her
consistency and competitiveness week-to-week.
"I like her style, she
is powerful and a good competitor, she showed no signs of tiredness
after her 1 1/2 hour match yesterday." said Fitz-Gerald.
