Bailey is back in action after a four month lay-off

Lincolnshire squash player Tania Bailey has won her first match since returning from knee surgery four months ago.

The 28-year-old from Stamford beat Shelly Kitchen in the quarter-finals at the Malaysian Open, in straight games.

Speaking after the tie Bailey said: "I was stiff this morning but not quite as achy as I expected."

Bailey, currently ranked number five in the world, will now take on second seed Natalie Grinham in the semi-finals on Friday evening.
