Hawal downs Coll at O West
A dramatic day at the Q West complex saw a quarter of men’s seeding upsets as Abdulla Al-Tamimi beat 7th seed Mohamed ElShorbagy, Kareem El Torkey beat 12th seed Eain Yow Ng and Jonah Bryant beat 13th seed Leonel Cardenas. No such drama in the women’s draw as all the seeds progressed.
The best was left for last though as wildcard Adam Hawal came from a game down to take out third seed Paul Coll in a dramatic last match of the day.
At the Pyramids the top two seeds in each draw all moved through with three-nil wins.
