SEEDS SAFELY THROUGH BOYS ROUND TWO
Ahmad Al-Saraj [9/12] beat Yeung Ho Wai 11-7 11-8 8-11 11-6
There was just one minor seeding upset as 30 of the top 32 seeds all came safely through to the third round. Longest match of the day at 61 minutes saw Brazil’s Josimar Silva get past the Usa’s Thomas Dembinski in the only five-setter of the round, and Colombian Juan Vargas inflicted more pain on the US as he beat 17/20 seed Dylan Murray in an entertaining three games.
Vargas becomes the only player to upset the seedings to reach the last 32 by beating a seed, the other interloper is Taminder Gata-Aura who came through the section of the draw missing a seed due to withdrawals to complete a good day for the English boys – although their winning run must end as Gata-Aura meets Tom Ford tomorrow.
The Egyptians at the top of the seeding wasted little time on the glass court as Marwan El Shorbagy, Mazen Hesham, Fares Dessouki and Mohamed Abouelghar all raced through. Pakistan’s top boysDanish Atlas and Nasir Iqbal were also untroubled as the big guns began their campaigns.
Home favourite Abdulla Al Tamimi did the business too, coming through in four games to keep the considerable Qatari interest afloat.
