The second day’s play of the Allam British Open takes place today, as the seeded players being their campaigns in the last 32 at the Allam Sports Centre in Hull.
Once again, like on the opening day, the three traditional plaster courts will be used alongside the glass court, with 32 matches in play over the course of the day, eight on each court.
The evening session on the glass court sees the top two in the world from both the men’s and women’s game in action. Nouran Gohar starts off the session against compatriot Zeina Mickawy, before Ali Farag takes on Greg Lobban. Nour El Sherbini then faces USA’s Olivia Fiechter, with Mohamed ElShorbagy taking on Welsh No.1 Joel Makin, in what could be the match of the day.
Frenchwoman Camille Serme gets play underway on the glass court, with Marwan ElShorbagy, Paul Coll and Hania El Hammamy also in action.
Over on the side courts, the likes of English No.1 Sarah-Jane Perry, last week’s Manchester Open winner Diego Elias, and the Egyptian contingent of Karim Abdel Gawad, Mostafa Asal and Fares Dessouky, will all be aiming to get their British Open’s off to a good start.
Rowan Elaraby and Alexandra Fuller kick things off on Court 4 at 12:00, with Olivia Clyne against Milou van der Heijden on Court 5, and US No.1 Amanda Sobhy taking on Malaysian starlet Sivasangari Subramaniam on Court 6.
