Team USA’s Amanda Sobhy contests her third PSA World Series main draw of the season Tuesday, December 1—the 2015 Cathay Pacific Sun Hun Kai Financial Hong Kong Open.

The world No. 11 from Sea Cliff, New York, is seeded eighth in the $95, 000, thirty-two-player women’s main draw, and will face Australia’s world No. 23 Donna Urquhart in the first round. The twenty-two-year-old Harvard graduate has defeated Urquhart both times they have met on tour, most recently last April in the 2015 Texas Open.

Men’s and women’s main court matches are streaming on a delayed schedule on SquashTV from the first round of the main draw, Tuesday, December 1, through the quarterfinals, Friday, December 4.

Sobhy and Urquhart will play their match at 5:30pm local time, 4:30 am ET.

The semifinals and final are streaming live from the glass court, Saturday and Sunday respectively.
