Simon Parke yesterday reached the final of the Rolex US Open for a meeting with the world champion Jansher Khan at Providence, Rhode Island - less than three weeks before England's attempt in Cairo to win the world team title for the first time. The former world junior champion from Yorkshire overcame England's unseeded No 4 player, Mark Challoner, 15-9, 15-10, 15-7. In the other semi-final Jansher, who begins his attempt to overtake Jahangir Khan's record of 6 world championship titles in Cyprus, beat the world No 8 from England, Del Harris, 15-11, 15-12, 17-14.
