Magee in to Russia Final

Chloe Magee is through to the women's singles final at the Russia White Nights Pre Olympic Badminton tournament in Gatchina, Russia.

Playing Monika Fasungova of Slovakia in the quarter-final, Magee started well, winning the first set, but in the second was unable to close out the match, narrowly losing 22-20. With the Slovakian starting to tire, Magee dominated the third set, winning 21-6.

After a few hours break Magee faced Romina Gabdullina of Russia in the semi-finals. Again Magee won the opener, then let the second set slip before closing out the match in the third. She now plays No 4 seed Kamila Augustyn of Poland in today's (Sun) final.

Scott Evans' campaign ended when he lost in straight sets to Ville Lang of Finland in the men's singles quarter-final.

Chloe and Sam Magee also went out in the quarter-finals stages of the mixed doubles, losing to the Russian pairing of Andrej Ashmarin and Anastasia Panushkina.
