Madeline Perry is in line to meet Rachael Grinham in the semi-finals

Madeline Perry is through to the quarter-finals of the Qatar Classic after beating France's Camille Serme in the second round in Doha on Friday.

The 32-year-old from Banbridge took just over half an hour to progress on a 11-4, 11-5, 11-8 scoreline.

Perry, seeded fifth, will now meet England's third seed Alison Waters in the quarter-finals on Saturday.

If she beats Waters on Saturday, Perry is likely to face Rachael Grinham in the semi-finals.

Perry lost to Australian Grinham in the British Open decider in September.

"Camille has improved a lot since I beat her 3-0 in Montreal two years ago," said Perry.

"She played some good shots, returned well and at times put me under more pressure than I would have liked.

"But when I was in front I felt I was in control of the game."
