Qualifying Set in $115K PSA Egypt El Gouna, Harrity Lone North American by Nathan Clarke 1ST APR 2015
- Frenchman Gregoire Marche will be a firm favourite to fulfil his
billing as the top ranked player in the 2015 El Gouna Classic
qualification campaign after the World No.26 was matched up against
local hopeful Mazen Gamal in today’s draw.
Marche will be confident of overcoming Gamal as he bids to make the
main draw at El Gouna for the second consecutive year – where he’ll be
aiming to better his first round exit in 2014 at the hands of German
Simon Rösner.
In the other half of the qualification draw number two seed Mazen
Hesham, the talented youngster from Cairo, will be another firm
favourite to reach the main draw as he takes on Karim El Hammamy in
what is a qualification line-up packed with Egyptian talent.
With 17 Egyptians competing and all hopeful of joining the likes of
Ramy Ashour, Mohamed Elshorbagy and Amr Shabana in the first round,
local squash fans could have plenty to cheer for once qualification is
complete on Saturday. DRAWS
