New Zealand's Commonwealth Games squash champion Joelle King says she hopes to emulate compatriot Paul Coll's feats by reaching the quarter-finals at the British Open in Hull. Coll beat Egypt's World No.7 Karim Abdel Gawad in five sets this morning to advance to the tournament's last eight for the first time. The world number 10 faces top seed Egypt's Mohamed El Shorbagy tomorrow night, while fourth seed King takes on Wales Tesni Evans in the women's second round tonight.
