Spanish giant-killer Alejandro Garbi Caro continued his progress in the PSA Valencia when he ousted fourth seed Joel Hinds to reach the semi-finals of the PSA World Tour Challenger 10 squash event in its third year at Club Olympia in the Spanish city of Valencia.<\/p>\n
It was after his surprise first round defeat of experienced Frenchman Yann Perrin that wild card Caro faced Englishman Hinds (both pictured above) in the quarter-finals – where he took just 47 minutes to overcome the world No82 11-4, 11-5, 11-6.<\/p>\n
Caro, ranked outside the world top 100, now faces top seed Karim Ali Fathi, the world No39 from Egypt who dismissed France’s Geoffrey Demont 12-10, 11-8, 11-6.<\/p>\n
Both seeds in the lower half of the draw failed to make the last four. Germany’s No3 seed Jens Schoor went down 11-6, 11-9, 11-6 to Egypt’s Zahed Mohamed, while Denmark’s No2 seed Kristian Frost Olesen was unable to capitalise on a 2\/0 lead against Joan Lezaud, ultimately crashing out 8-11, 6-11, 11-6, 11-8, 11-7 to the Frenchman in 77 minutes.\n<\/p>\n
