Team USA’s Olivia Weaver will defend her PSA Gold Silicon Valley Open presented by Oracle NetSuite title, Wednesday, October 15, after a commanding run through the PSA Gold draw at Squash Zone in Redwood Shores, CA.
Weaver reached the semifinals without dropping a game and continued he clinical form throughout her twenty-seven-minute semifinal as she defeated training partner and four seed Georgina Kennedy 11-5, 11-3, 11-4.
It was the relentless accuracy of Weaver that proved crucial to her victory, with the World No. 5 finding an immaculate line and length on the all-glass court to extend her winning streak at the event to seven matches.
“Gina is one of my closest friends on tour and it’s always difficult playing one of your friends on tour,” Weaver said after the match. “Obviously, when we’re training together as well [with coach Rod Martin], it makes it harder – we played three practice matches last week and we know each other’s games very well.
“I think we were both just out here trying to play our best squash and I’m just really happy to get through to the final in three games.”
Weaver will defend her title against Malaysia’s world No. 8 and three seed Sivasangari Subramaniam Wednesday night at 7pm local time, 10pm ET. Watch the final live on SquashTV.
