And then they were Seven
All the Egyptian results but one went according to seedings.
The only unexpected loss was the one of Karim Elbarbary 13/16 to English unseeded Lewis Anderson 3/0 in 31m. In the Men’s still, Sam Todd, one of England bet for the future, 5/8, took 4 games to oust 9/12 Ibrahim Mohamed in 42m. The other four went through to the quarters, the two Mostafas and El Torkey smoothly in 3, while Yehia Elnawasany had a bumpy ride, only taking the match 11/6 in the 5th, one minute short of an hour…
We were hoping that [9/12] Sana Ibrahim would overcome local favourite [5/8] Chan Yiwen, but it was the Malaysian that took the match in 4, 40m. Hania, Farida and Jana didn’t stay half an hour on court.
In the quarters, only one all Egyptian match, Omar El Torkey will face Yehia Elnawasany, guaranteeing an Egyptian in the semis…
