Cross keeps Rachel believing as she crosses swords with world No. 1

PETALING JAYA: There is no reason for national women’s squash player Rachel Arnold to feel intimidated even as she prepares to face world No. 1 Hania El Hammamy of Egypt for a place in the semi-finals of the Optasia Championship today.

World No. 24 Rachel had just defeated home favourite Jasmine Hutton, ranked No. 16, 11-9, 11-8, 12-10 in the second round at The Wimbledon in London yesterday.
