She beat the #2 seed England’s Victoria Lust (W#16) in the final 3-0. In December our #1 player won the W25 Monte Carlo Classic and now she has won the W25 Cincinnati Gaynor Cup. Now 31, Urquhart is having to deal with a number of high flying Egyptian youngsters. At the Monte Carlo she beat 19 year old Zeina Mickawy (W#37) in the final and at the Gaynor Cup she beat 17 year old Rowan Reda Araby (W#36) in the semi. Urquhart would have been full of confidence having previously beaten Lust at the 2017 Hong Kong Open in 3.
