Wed 12th April, Quarter-Finals
(bottom)
 Semi-Finalists
decided on weather interrupted evening
in El Gouna
Raneem El Welily won the first
match of the evening as she came from a game down to beat Laura
Massaro, ending a run of four defeats against the Englishwoman.
The third was crucial, Welily trailing all game before sneaking
it on her way to a win in 46 minutes.
 Fares
Dessouki made it to the semis for the second time in a row
in a rain-interrupted match against Diego Elias.
After the first two games were shared, rain, thunder and
lightning struck - the first time it's rained here since last
October - so the matches were moved to the Complex.
In front of a packed and noisy crowd Dessouki took the next two
games - both fiercely contested and somewhat contentions -
12/10, 12/10 to progress.
 Camille
Serme claimed the last place in the women's semis - which
will be contested by the top four seeds - as she came through a
five-setter against Joshna Chinappa, taking the decider 11/2.
World Champion Karim Abdel Gawad concluded the
quarter-finals as he beat Simon Rosner in four.

Nour El Sherbini was first through to the semis as she

ball before taking the third 12/10.

beat eight-time champion Nicol David 11/6, 11/5, 11/9,
closing out the match on a stroke on her fifth match ball.
 A

under half an hour 11/5, 11/2, 11/4.
World #1 Gregory Gaultier advanced to the semis with a
3-1 over Paul Coll. Gaultier controlled the first two games
11/6, 11/6 but Coll saved a match ball in the third to extend
the match 13/11. The Frenchman reasserted in the fourth to take
the match 11/6.
