Pistej/Balazova in the Mixed Doubles QF of the Australian Open as the only pair to beat a ranked duo. Next against Lee Sang-su/Jeon Ji-hee [1].

Not a tournament with many big names though.

For sorry our best player maybe in history Omar Assar can't play with our NT for a year as our federation banned him as they claim he cursed Egypt in one of his matches at Mideterranean games , the guy is on fire in bundesliga making 4 victories in a row as he plays for the best German club Broussia Dusseldorf and i really fear that he'll be out of top 100 when he returns if he'll continue to play for Egypt
