Alison Waters – 'Squash Professional'

2nd February 2010
Won 3-0 [11/8, 11/5, 11/7]

‘Pleased to have won 3-0 tonight as it felt very hot and bouncy out there so was hard controlling it at times . After the first i just tried to slow it down more and look for my length. There were no fire alarms going off tonight which was good. So its a repeat of the Greenwich final last week with Omneya!

The temperature has picked up a bit as well which is nice!! I’m still loving the heated seats in the car though and an automatic drive.. its so much easier..I must be getting lazy!’     - Alison

Won 3-0 [11/7, 11/6, 11/5]

‘Interesting match tonight… I was 1-0 up and 6-2 up when the fire alarm went off. so we had to stop for a good 15-20 mins before the firemen came to turn if off! It was hard as we tried to keep warm during the
break but just weren’t sure how long we would have to wait for. Was glad when we got on and i finished it off
in 3 games. Playing Sam Teran now tomorrow.

Just been to dinner with my billets from last year. Amazing house with an English pub actually in the house so we had a fun time!     - Alison

Won 3-1 [9/11, 11/5, 11/6, 11/3]

‘It’s been a week since Greenwich so it was great to start the tournament last night with a 3-1 win over Emma Beddoes.  Felt a bit flat in the first game and Emma was taking it in well. I got going in the 2nd and played pretty well after that. I play Joelle King tomorrow. There were some really long and good matches yesterday and 5 matches went to 5 games so I waited a long time to play.  The standard was all really high. I am staying with a really nice family again which makes things easy, buts its just far too cold here!!   - Alison

“Waters takes Greenwich Title”
(Article courtesy of Squashsite.co.uk)

“It was the top two seeds who contested the final of the richest women’s event of the year so far, after contrasting semi-final victories for England’s Alison Waters and Egypt’s Omneya Abdel Kawy at the Field Club.

Waters made it three straight-game wins in a row as she beat fourth-seeded Vanessa ATkinson to reach the final. Kawy twice had to come from behind before ending the run of unseeded compatriot Raneem El Weleily – who had ousted third seed Laura Massaro in a sensational quarter-final upset.

But it was Waters who came through three close games in the final, reducing the head-to-head deficit to 8-4 in the Egyptian’s favour as she repeated her win over Kawy in last year’s Greenwich quarter-finals.

Waters, 25, was playing her tenth WISPA final and bagged only her third WISPA title out of 85 events, while the 24-year-old Kawy has amassed six titles from 114 events and was making her 21st appearance in a final”

The final is this afternoon against Omneya. This week has gone so quickly and its off to NYC later today! Then off to Ohio on wednesday to get ready for the next tournament’      – Alison

‘Pleased to win 3-0 against Sam. I have played her a couple of times and had some tough matches as she gets a lot back and gets well stuck in.  She had a tough match last night and had a late finish so that might have worked in my favour, as i has finished a lot earlier than she did.  Looking forward to my match tomorrow against Madeline Perry. We have played each other a couple of times in the last few months and the matches have always been close’     - Alison

‘Good start to the tournament with a 3-0 win over Joey. I have played Joey before and she is a good ‘up and coming’ player so i wasn’t taking here lightly.  We played on the glass court and i think this suited me better as i have had some more experience on glass courts which always helps. Joey played well in the 3rd game and was playing some nice shots. Tomorrow i have the winner of Sam Teran and Sarah Kippax so will be looking forward to that match.  Its great to be back here in Doha and the weather has been really good which makes it nice. Its doesn’t feel like its November being here as we are so used to the cold weather at home..(not that we have been outside much).. Hotel and courts is my day!!’..     - Alison
