Nigeria's Squash Queen Yemisi Olatunji beat Molly Chadwick 3-2 majors (11-13, 6-11, 11-6, 11-4, 11-9) at the Slaight Music Granite Open 2019 in Toronto, Canada on Sunday.
The world number 146, Yemisi, featuring in her 10th PSA tournament battled into the Round of 16 against Molly an home based player.
Yemisi Olatunji lost the first two sets but fought back to clinch the third, fourth and fifth set of a healthy contest.
Olatunji would now face Australia’s Jessica Turnbull on Monday for a place in the Quater-finals of the $11,000 (W) PSA-sanctioned event.

Her participation at the Slaight Music Granite Open is her second tournament of the year, and in her four years as a PSA player, her tenth tournament overall – as earlier stated. She is one of the only two African players competing at the women’s category of the event in Toronto. The other African representative being Amina El Rihany of Egypt.
