Finals in Pretoria
The Women’s Open was a closely fought battle between two Young
Egyptians with many decisions having to be made by the referee.
Nadine Shahin at 16 years old beat Heba El Torky in five to win
her second consecutive WSA title and certainly has a bright future
ahead of her.
The men’s Final was close in the first game however Muhammad Saqib
Yousaf could not continue from where he left off in his semi-final
and made numerous errors which the steady Tom Ford took full
advantage. Tom running out a 3/0 victor in just 38 minutes.

Semi-finals in Pretoria
Great semi final matches all round. Two five-setters in the Ladies
event with both losers looking the stronger opponents but not able
to convert at the crucial moments.
The first all Egyptian clash was quite the feisty battle. Everything
was left on the court as the two gave everything physically and
mentally to try and convert in their favour. The lower seed being
the victor showing determination and fight in both cases. All round
potential from all four players for the future, all showing great
skill, athleticism and willingness to fight.
As for the men both victors fought through 3-1. Tom showing greater
skill level and great ball control, Rehman had no answers. Piedro
fought his hardest physically as he always does showing just the
athlete he is but the Pakistan man edged through on sheer skill
level and focus.
