Sobhy started strongly, applying her trademark attacking style to take the opening game before Perry responded to level the scores at one game apiece.

Sobhy, 22, again reasserted her status as one of the sport’s most promising talents to take the third and despite watching two match balls go to waste, she regrouped to take the fourth game and the championship 11-5, 4-11, 11-5, 12-10.
