Very close to PSA events – Optasia/Canary Wharf/Karachi for the Men, and CIB Open @BlackBall for the ladies…
In the earlier rounds, we lost Fares Dessouky, beaten by Ahmed Ayman in Round One, only to lose  himself to Youssef Al Sherif who then lost to Ahmed Abdel Fatah in the next round…
We also lost Farida Mohamed, still very heavily injured from her match against Joelle King a few days ago.

But still stan#2ding are Ali Farag and Tarek Momen – seed #1 and 2 – who beat Mazen Gamal and Omar Mosaad respectively. Mazen Hesham and Yahya Elnawassany now await…

The middle of the draw opened obviously without Fares, and we find Ahmed Abdel Fatah and Ibrahim Qabany battling in one quarter, and Karim Abdel Gawad – who defeated Zahed 3/0 – against Amr EkKattan.

As for the Ladies, we will be playing the semies tomorrow already. Top two seeds are Nouran Gohar and Hania El Hammamy, and will be battling away with Salma Hany and Rowan ElAraby respectively…
