- Following two days of intense qualification action at the University
Of Hull, the main draw for the 2014 Allam British Open is now complete. Egyptian World No.19
Marwan Elshorbagy led the way during qualification as eight hopefuls
earned their berths in the 32-man draw for the main event which gets
underway at the KC Sports Stadium, Hull on Monday May 12, but there was
no joy for home hopes Alan Clyne of Scotland or Englishman Charles
Sharpes as they bowed out in straight games defeats.

the main draw were fellow Egyptian Fares Dessouki, Hong Kong duo Leo Au
and Max Lee, Swiss national champion Nicolas Mueller, Malaysian Ong
Beng Hee, Olli Tuominen of Finland and Frenchman Gregoire Marche. The $150k PSA World

battle it out to win the prestigious title dubbed the "Wimbledon" of
