Camilleri stuns Stoehr in Hong Kong
26-Aug-2010 - Squash Australia
The 27-year-old from Tully recovered from a game down to beat world number 19 Stoehr 8-11, 11-5, 11-4, 7-11, 11-4.
“I'd never played Isa before, but I did a bit of training with her in Melbourne last week,” Camilleri said.
“She has such good racket skills, if I left anything short I was in trouble, but when I managed to get my length working I felt more in control.
"I haven't even looked to see who I play next - this is definitely my best win ever.”
Camilleri actually faces seventh seeded Englishwoman Laura Massaro, who beat Hong Kong’s Joey Chan 11-8, 11-7, 6-11, 11-8.
It was a good day for the Australian women, with Rachael Grinham, Kasey Brown and Donna Urquhart all progressing.
Grinham beat Malaysia’s Delia Arnold 11-3, 11-5, 11-3 and will now play France’s Camille Serme while doubles partners Brown and Urquhart clash following their wins.
Brown beat Song Sun-Mi of South Korea 11-6, 11-2, 11-2 and Urquhart was too strong for Denmark’s Line Hansen 11-9, 11-7, 11-7.
In the men’s draw two Australians won through to the second round and two lost their opening matches.
Tenth seed David Palmer beat Finland’s Olli Tuominen 11-2, 11-5, 11-4 and will now play Frenchman Thierry Lincou while 16th seed Cameron Pilley had a good win over Ong Beng Hee of Malaysia 11-8, 11-7, 14-12 to set up a clash with Egypt’s Karim Darwish, who ended Tasmanian qualifier Aaron Frankcomb’s tournament 11-6, 11-3, 11-3.
Fellow qualifier Ryan Cuskelly found the going too tough against Gregory Gaultier, the Frenchman winning 11-8, 11-3, 11-6.
