Weird, as at 8/5 for Mohamed, he sits on the floor "I'm not cramping, it's my knee cap, I feel something in my knee, can I have an injury break"...
"It's not fair, it's not fair" says Tarek...
refs are really making this a bit of a lottery at times, with no lets given/confirmed which are extremely harsh to but it mildly.
Anyway, at 7/8, Mohamed seemed to suffer from his knee but still takes it 11/7
18m game
[2] Mohamed ElShorbagy v [4] Tarek Momen 9-11, 11-7, 11/7
Well, about the same game than first one, in reverse.. up to 7/7 very close and this time it's @MoElshorbagy that finds the winners, with Tarek finding the tin twice at the end.. 16m game
[2] Mohamed ElShorbagy v [4] Tarek Momen 9-11, 11-7..
A 17m high quality 1stgame, refs harsh with their no let calls but what we know about squash, @TkMomen very positive @MoElshorbagy powerful
2/2, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5, 6/6, 7/7... But it's the Momenator that closes it down
[2] Mohamed ElShorbagy v [4] Tarek Momen 9-11...
"I could see she was not 100%, she was not moving as well as normal, but it's so hard to play somebody who is not at her 100%...
I lost in the world open in the quarters against a very strong young Egyptian @HaniaaElHammamy and that was tough.
So, I'll take this one
@CamilleSerme
Five Egyptian opponents, five wins, and the ToC title for @CamilleSerme !!
[5] Camille Serme (Fra) 3-0 [2] Nour El Sherbini (Egy) 11-8, 11-6, 11-7 (40m)
Incredible power/belief coming from the French racquet, forcing 5 errors out of the Egyptian, and from 3/6, straight to 11/6 in 9m game
[2] Nour El Sherbini (Egy) v [5] Camille Serme (Fra) 8-11, 6-11 ...
An 11m game quite interesting : If Cam was a bit emotional in her other matches, this time, she is sure of herself, and realises that she has the right to be there, that she belong there.
No matter the result, fascinating
[2] Nour El Sherbini (Egy) v [5] @CamilleSerme (Fra) 8-11
