It's USA v Egypt in National Capitol
 The quarter-finals of the National Capitol Open in Washington
were an exclusively USA and Egyptian affairs, with three home players up
against five Egyptians.
Top seed Amanda Sobhy, aiming for a third WSA title in a row,
made it through to the semis with a four game win over Nouran Gohar,
while younger sister Sabrina survived a five-game encounter
with newly-engaged second seed Heba El Torky to join Amanda in the
last four.
Both will face further Egyptian opposition - Amanda faces Kanzy
El Dafrawy, who beat the younger El Torky, Nouran, in straight
games, while Sabrina comes up against qualifier Yathreb Adel,
who beat USA's Olivia Blatchford in four games.
