British Squash Championships: Laura Massaro beaten by Wales' Tesni Evans

Four-time champion Laura Massaro was suprisingly beaten by Wales' Tesni Evans in the semi-finals of the British Squash Championship in Manchester.

England's defending champion and world number four Massaro, 34, lost in straight sets 3-11 8-11 9-11.

Evans, who is ranked 12th in the world, repeated her upset at December's World Championships with victory on Saturday.

She will face Alison Waters in Sunday's final, after the Englishwoman beat compatriot Sarah-Jane Perry 3-2.

Waters survived a scare to see off Perry 11-6 11-4 8-11 10-12 11-5.

Evans, who took advantage of some early uncharacteristic unforced errors from Massaro, said she relished going into the match as the underdog.

"I knew there was more pressure on Laura than me, being the top seed and defending champion, so I told myself I wasn't expected to win. But I was really pleased with how I played," she said.

"It's great getting to the final, there's a lot more English in the draws than us Welsh and Scottish, so it means a lot."

England's Nick Matthews fought back after losing the first set to beat Chris Simpson of Guernsey 6-11, 11-2, 11-9, 11-6.

Matthews will take on Englishman James Willstrop in his 11th championship final.

Willstrop had earlier beaten fellow countryman Daryl Selby 11-9 , 11-4, 11-2.
