“I thought I started pretty well to be honest for the first two, and then I came away a little from what I was doing and she stepped up, and she’s so dangerous. I’m very pleased to come away in three. I think I’m playing some of my best squash.”
Fourth-seed King is the only non-Egyptian in the semis. She faces Nour El Sherbini, the second seed, for a spot in the final at 10.30pm this evening (NZ time).
