[2] Diego Elias (PER) 3-0 [10] Youssef Ibrahim (EGY) 11-6, 11-5, 11-1 (43m)
First game, 18m. Second game, 12m. Last one, 7m.
Youssef played a bit like a bit of a junior tonight, I felt. It’s intense, fast, beautiful to watch, but I’m not sure it’s winning matches against the world number 2….
Diego
“I’m very happy with my performance tonight. Youssef is a very dangerous player. He’s playing great at the moment so I just had to focus from the very-first point. I’m glad I could do that for the whole three games.
“I wanted to play the balls as close as I could to the back corners and it was working very well.
“Even at the end when I was leading by a few points, I knew I had to finish it in three games as I know he can come back and he’s very dangerous.
“Jonah is playing great at the moment. He’s going to be at the very top in the future, so I’ll need to prepare well for that one.”
