[4] Mohamed ElSherbini 3-1 [8] Alan Clyne (SCO) 9-11, 11-6, 11-4, 11-5 (56m)

The first match featured two previous CSC Open participants: Alan Clyne and Mohamed ElSherbini. Clyne took the first game in a tight and fiercely contested 11-9. ElSherbini went on the attack in the next games, playing aggressive squash and firing the ball in, winning comfortably in 4.

ElSherbini: “Alan is a very good player and very fast, and I had never played him before. The first game for me was a test. I didn’t know what to do so I was playing long rallies to see how he attacks and how he counters. After the first game, it was… bam! bam! bam!”
