New Zealand s world No.8 Joelle King put on a masterclass performance to down 17th ranked Nadine Shahin (Egypt) in straight games to reach the quarter-finals of the CIB Black Ball Open.
The Waikato player was beaten by Shahin the last time they played but was responded with a 11-5, 11-9, 11-3 scoreline in 28 minutes. It was by no means easy, said King, aged 32 to SquashTV.

It was far from easy, mentally I had to keep my focus the whole time. As we saw the other day she never gives up until the last point is over.
