Norman knocked out
NZPA-Reuter Blois, France The former world champion, Ross Norman of New Zealand, succumbed to Britain’s Geoff Williams in the second round of the Blois International squash tournament as only two seeds survived to reach the last eight. The second seed Norman, who imposed the first defeat on Jahangir Khan in more than five years when he won the world title in Toulouse 14 months ago, was beaten 9-3, 5-9, 1-9, 9-4, 9-3, by the former British-No. 1. Norman, who has slipped from second to fourth in the world rankings, had been due to meet the reigning world champion, Jansher Khan, of Pakistan, in the final. Jansher beat Australia’s Stephen Vocetti 9-0, 9-6, 9-6, while the fifth-seeded Australian, Brett Martin, was the only other seed to qualify for the quarter-finals, beating Britain’s Phillip Whitlock 7-9, 9-7, 9-1, 9-6.
