[8] Mohamad Zakaria (EGY) 3-0 [14] Emyr Evans (WAL)  11-6, 11-5, 11-8 (40m)

Zakaria : I have to be honest, yesterday I was incredibly tired, all my muscles were very sore. I had a 2H30 session with the physio here trying to fix the body.

And today I had a massive, massive soreness in my right hamstring. I’m very happy it worked out, but today, I knew I couldn’t rely on what I rely on, my physicality, so I had to bring in the shots.

I had to be clever, I had to bring in something I am know I have but I never use, never bring in, because I can rely on something else.

This is how I want to play, this is not all I have, I have more. But still, I was happy with the way I was able to show the shots I was able to play, and close it out in three.

I’m happy obviously that I made it through the qualifications, I was not given anything, I had to earn the spot. I’m going to give it my upmost everything, going to recover for the next two days, and come in the 30th as if I had done nothing this week. I’m super super super grateful to win this, and play this first time ever event!
