World No. 4 Olivia Weaver reached her fifth consecutive PSA Platinum semifinal with a run to the El Gouna last four, April 12-17, in Egypt.
Weaver’s El Gouna campaign included three decisive 3-0 victories over the course of the first three rounds. The American’s quarterfinal win held important rankings implications against Belgium’s world No. 5 Tinne Gilis.
Weaver’s tournament came to an end in the semifinals at the hands of seventeen-year-old phenom Amina Orfi, who won 12-10, 11-9, 11-8 in fifty-eight minutes to reach her first career PSA Platinum final.
Weaver’s focus now shifts to the PSA World Championships in May where she will enter the tournament as the four seed.
