Fiechter is through to the last eight of a Professional Squash Association Platinum event for the first time after a straight-games win at the University of Hull.

The world number 10 triumphed 12-10, 11-7, 11-9 over Egypt's Elaraby.

Fiechter is one of two Americans through to the women's quarter-finals, after third seed Amanda Sobhy also enjoyed a straight-games victory.

Sobhy saw off England's Jasmine Hutton 11-9, 11-7, 11-8.

"It's such an exciting time to be a part of Team USA, we have a lot of players playing amazing squash," Fiechter said.

"We had four players in the last 16 across both men’s and women’s and Amanda and I have been playing the entire week leading up to this."

There were also straight-games wins for Nouran Gohar and Nour El Tayeb - both Egyptian - who knocked out American Sabrina Sobhy and Belgium's Nele Gilis, respectively.

Three men's seeds also booked quarter-final places in straight games.

Egypt's Mostafa Asal beat Patrick Rooney of England, New Zealand's second seed Paul Coll saw off France's Grégoire Marche and Peru's Diego Elías put out American Shahjahan Khan.

Coll is the defending champion.

The unseeded Miguel Rodríguez of Colombia needed 75 minutes, but overcame Egypt's Youssef Soliman 6-11, 11-4, 11-5, 11-8 to also reach the quarter-finals.

The last eight begins tomorrow.
