RESULTS & Reports |
08-Nov, Semi-Finals:
Gough faces Grant in Final
Top seed Alex Gough enjoyed a walkover into the final, following the
withdrawal of fellow Welshman David Evans through injury.
Gough will face England's second seed and
defending champion Adrian Grant in the final, after Grant recovered from

11/15, 15/9, 15/11, 15/7 win over Dan Jenson in the semi-final.
Grant won the title as second seed
last year.
07-Nov,
Quarter-finals:
Evans Sets Up Welsh
Semi In Tenerife
Sixth seed David Evans upset third-seeded South African
Rodney Durbach to set up an all-Welsh semi-final in Tenerife.
Evans, the former British Open champion from Pontypool now ranked 33 in
the world, defeated Durbach, ranked four places higher, 15-14 15-5 15-10
- and now faces top-seeded compatriot Alex Gough in a repeat of
January's Welsh National Championships' final which was won by Evans.
Gough ended Hisham Moh'd Ashour's run with a 15-9 15-7 15-9 victory over
the unseeded Egyptian.
There will also be British interest in the other semi-final where
England's second seed Adrian Grant takes on Australia's Dan Jenson.
Grant beat Spain's seventh seed Borja Golan 15-9 15-11 15-6, while
fourth seed Jenson fought back from 2/1 down to overcome England's Del
Harris, the eighth seed, 15-5 12-15 9-15 15-1 15-6.
06-Nov
Round ONE
Gough & Grant on course
in the Canaries
Top seeds Alex Gough and Adrian Grant easily progressed into
the quarter-finals in Tenerife, as most of the first round matches went
according to the seedings.
Grant, the defending champion, beat local
qualifier Iago Cornes, and faces top Spaniard Borja Golan in the
quarter-finals.
The only upset came as fifth seed Stephen Meads
lost out in five games to Egypt's Hisham Ashour, who now meets top seed
Gough in the quarters.
Preview:
Grant back in Tenerife
England's Adrian Grant returns to Tenerife, where he won in
2002, to find himself seeded two for the second successive year. Last year Grant beat local favourite Borja Golan,
and top seed Shahier Razik in the final. To retain the title he will need to overcome,
probably, Golan again in the quarters, and Wales' top seed Alex Gough.
