Mon 14-Nov, Day FOUR, Round One (bottom):
Selby masters Mosaad at last
First round action continued today at the Khalifa
International Tennis & Squash Complex, with the bottom half of
the draw.
 England's
Daryl Selby created a big upset as he overcame second
seed Omar Mosaad in an up and down five-game encounter to record
his first ever win over the big Egyptian.
Selby now meets fellow Englishman Adrian Waller, who
repeated his upset win of last year against Swiss Nicolas
Mueller.
There was Egyptian success as third and fifth seeds Karim
Abdel Gawad - playing his first match as World Champion -
and Marwan Elshorbagy made it safely through to the last
sixteen.
 Gawad
faces an all-Egyptian encounter with Zahed Mohamed, who
came from 10-4 down in the second on his way to beating Tom
Richards, while Marwan meets Australian Ryan Cuskelly,
who prevailed ion a brutal 96-minute match with Hong Kong's Max
Lee who, like Paul Coll yesterday, cramped up on match ball down
and was unable to contest the final rally.
Cameron Pilley made it two Aussies in round two as he
beat qualifier Nafiizwan Adnan in straight games to set up a
meeting with Mexico's Cesar Salazar, who won in four
tough games games against Omar Abdel Meguid.
