The Egyptian qualifier Raneem El Weleily (pic) defeats the third seed Rachael Grinham in the women’s draw (12-10, 14-16, 11-9, 12-10). Laura Massaro, the No8 seed had to call upon all her experience to defeat 18-year-old Indian qualifier Dipika Pallikal (9-11, 11-9, 9-11, 11-8, 11-9). Two further women’s upsets saw Tour stalwarts Natalie Grainger and Madeline Perry make unexpectedly early exits against unseeded Low Wee Wern and Camille Serme.
