A bit strange to see the Gentle Giant to have to qualify but it was a quick and short affair…
Omar
Of course it’s a bit weird for me to have to qualify, but I’m just enjoying my time, trying to do my best and you know, tomorrow is going to be a nice match as well, so I’ll put 100% to win that, and we’ll see what’s going to happen…

The score might have looked like a simple affair, but nothing in this draw is a simple affair. It’s packed with players who are hungry to make the main draw, they are all good players so, I wasn’t expecting anything less than a battle.
Luckily, my shots were going in, and my attacking style was working well for me today. That was my tactic going in against him. He is not the most attacking of Egyptians, but he is very solid, and very fit, it definitely was not easy.
Tomorrow, the winner of Xhandaran and an Niekerk, I hope they are going to tire each other out (note from Fram, OH YES THEY ARE), skilful and fast, so I’m going to watch their match now…
