Breanne Flynn will be the lone Irish interest in Friday’s IACT Fitzwilliam Ladies Open quarter-finals following Thursday’s round of 16 matches.
Seeded No.3 for the 16-player PSA Satellite tournament, Flynn needed just 17 minutes to run up a 3-0 win over fellow Irish player Shriya Drawid to get her campaign up and running.
She now faces Polly Clark, a 3-0 winner over Zoe Yeomans, who represented Ireland at the recent World Squash Junior Championships in Cairo.
There were six Irish players in total at the start line, and the remaining three – Hannah McGugan and Lydia McQuillan – all made 0-3 exits.
Seven of the eight round of 16 matches at the Fitzwilliam went to seeding, with the only upset result being the 1-3 defeat for the No.7 ranked Ana Munos by Robyn McAlpine, the former Irish Junior Open winner from Scotland.
