Joelle King and Campbell Grayson have more than one reason to celebrate this weekend |
Double delight for New Zealand squash stars Joelle King and Campbell Grayson this weekend.
The two kiwis have reached new career highs on the latest world squash rankings, and both have celebrated with victory at the Waikato Open in Hamilton.
King is up two places to number 21 in the world on the May list and showed her class with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Tamsyn Leevey in the women's final in Hamilton. The 21-year-old never dropped a game in the entire tournament.
Meanwhile, Grayson has won the men's event with a 3-1 win over third seed George Crosby in the final, hot on the heels of climbing two places to his highest ever world ranking of 39.
