Shabana was in most of the rallies dominant – reeling off winning volley drops and drop shots almost at will and closed out the match after 50 minutes 11-9, 8-11, 11-2, 11-4. It was England’s World No5 Laura Massaro (pic ri) who took her first major WISPA Grand Prix title as she came back from 1 game down to beat Australia’s World No6 Kasey Brown in 4 games 5-11, 11-5, 11-3, 11-5 to take the US Open crown.
