The day started with an all-Egyptian upset as Nouran Gohar overpowered Nour El Tayeb, reaching her second BO final, as did Camille Serme with a four game win over home favourite Sarah-Jane Perry.

Ali Farag and Paul Coll put on a tremendous display, Farag winning in five and the crowd rising as one at the end. Farag reaches his first BO final where he’ll face Mohamed ElShorbagy who reached his fourth with a straight-games win over Karim Abdel Gawad.
