Khalifa Crowned Alexandria Champion

Underdog Amr Khaled Khalifa brushed aside fourth-seeded Egyptian compatriot Andrew Wagih Shoukry in the final of the Egyptian Circuit No2 to win the PSA World Tour Challenger 10 squash event at the Sporting Club in Alexandria.

Khalifa, the 18-year-old world junior champion, reached the final after beating Olivier Pett, an unseeded Englishman who made his breakthrough in the opening round where he despatched third-seeded Egyptian Ali Farag.

Meanwhile fourth seed Shoukry became the only seed to make the last four after ending the giant-killing run of compatriot Mazen Gamal in the other semi. Gamal, the 24-year-old world No 110 from Cairo, had earlier removed top seed Karim Abdel Gawad, ranked more than 60 places higher.

But despite being unseeded, Khalifa is now ranked higher than Shoukry - following two successive Tour wins over the 20-year-old from Cairo since March.

And Khalifa, the world No59, also from Cairo, made it three in a row when he beat Shoukry 11-7, 12-10, 11-5 in 40 minutes to lift his second successive Egyptian Circuit trophy.

The success marks Khalifa's eighth PSA World Tour title triumph in only his ninth final - all since February 2009!

Shoukry & Khalifa In Alexandria Final

Andrew Wagih Shoukry and Amr Khaled Khalifa set up an all-Egyptian final of the Egyptian Circuit No2 after straight games semi-final successes in the PSA World Tour Challenger 10 squash event at the Sporting Club in Alexandria.

Shoukry, the only seed left in the last four, ended the giant-killing run of compatriot Mazen Gamal, the unseeded 24-year-old from Cairo who removed top seed Karim Abdel Gawad in the previous round.

But 20-year-old Shoukry, also from Cairo and ranked 71 in the world, was too strong for Gamal, winning 11-7, 12-10, 11-5 in 46 minutes to make his first PSA Tour final of the year, but the ninth of his career.

Khalifa stormed to an 11-3, 11-6, 11-7 victory in 44 minutes over English outsider Olivier Pett.

The 18-year-old from Cairo is enjoying a fine run on the senior professional circuit after becoming the world junior champion in Ecuador almost a year ago. Ranked 71 in the world, Khalifa already boasts four PSA Tour final appearances this year, with title successes in three.

It was only three weeks ago that the teenager clinched the Egyptian Circuit No1 crown in Cairo - beating Shoukry in the quarter-finals.

Gamal Gets Gawad In Alexandria Upset

Unseeded Mazen Gamal secured the biggest scalp in the Egyptian Circuit No2 in Alexandria when he ousted top seed Karim Abdel Gawad to reach the semi-finals of the PSA World Tour Challenger 10 squash event at the Egyptian city's Sporting Club.

It was a 106-minute all-Cairo contest in which Gamal, a 24-year-old ranked outside the world top 100, recovered from 2/1 down to beat 19-year-old favourite Gawad, the world No44, 11-4, 7-11, 15-17, 11-1, 12-10.

Gamal will now take on another fellow countryman Andrew Wagih Shoukry, the only seed left in the field. Fourth seed Shoukry also survived a five-game battle to beat qualifier Mazen Hesham Ga Sabry 11-6, 9-11, 11-4, 12-14, 12-10.

Englishman Olivier Pett stands in the way of an all-Egyptian final. The 22-year-old from Sussex, ranked 113 in the world, saw off Egyptian Wael Farag, ranked two places higher, 13-11, 11-4, 11-7 to set up a meeting with Amr Khaled Khalifa.

The 18-year-old world junior champion from Cairo beat compatriot Fares Dessouki 11-4, 14-12, 11-9.

Pett Flies International Flag In Alexandria

Unseeded Englishman Olivier Pett became the only overseas player to make the quarter-finals of the Egyptian Circuit No2 in Alexandria when he upset third seed Ali Farag in the opening round of the PSA World Tour Challenger 10 squash event at the Egyptian city's Sporting Club.

Pett, a 22-year-old from Sussex ranked outside the world top 100, survived two tie-break games to overcome the world No79 from Cairo 12-10, 11-6, 10-12, 11-6 in 44 minutes.

But there was unexpected local success further down the draw where 16-year-old Fares Dessouki pulled off a major upset by removing the second seed in his maiden Tour appearance since becoming a member of the PSA.

Joe Lee, the 21-year-old world No67 from England, was making his return to the Tour after undergoing treatment for a back injury.

But in a punishing 75-minute battle, Dessouki emerged triumphant 11-9, 14-12, 6-11, 11-7 to set up an all-Egyptian quarter-final clash with Amr Khaled Khalifa, the 18-year-old world junior champion from Cairo who defeated Dutchman Bart Ravelli 11-9, 12-10, 11-5.
