WORLDS: INJURY HALTS GAULTIER'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP DEFENSE 2015 World Champion Gregory Gaultier’s hopes of retaining the most prestigious title in squash have come to a premature end after the 33-year-old Frenchman was forced to withdraw from his semi-final encounter with Ramy Ashour – scheduled to take place tonight – due to injury. Gaultier booked his last four berth after a physically testing quarter-final victory over 2015 semi-finalist Tarek Momen yesterday but suffered an ankle injury as he pushed to secure the win in the fourth game, and has been unable to recover in time to take to court this evening. As a result three-time winner Ramy Ashour progresses to the title-decider where he will await the winner of the all-Egyptian clash between World No.1 Mohamed ElShorbagy and Karim Abdel Gawad.

maybe they needed a reminder to start surprises and btw still no big teams faild to qualify to R16 the only surprise is the tie of Real Madrid with Ligia Warsaw , leverkusen is a big team also and they were very unlucky with those 3 ties in the 1st 3 matches , they can always cause problems to big teams which Tottenham isn't among

Cubs is leading 7-0 at the middle of 4th inning in game 6

Quarterfinals Results #1 {1} Mohamed Elshorbagy 3 - 0 {10} Ali Farag (11/8, 11/5, 11/8) {6} Karim Abdelgawad 3 - 0 {4} Nick Matthew (11/9, 11/4, 11/9)

very predictable UCL this season , only 2 groups are still undecided after 4 rounds , almost no surprises this season

I thought this happens only in Africa , very good news for Chile indeed

WORLDS DAY FIVE ROUNDUP: EGYPTIANS MAKE HISTORY Egypt has become the first nation in the entire 40-year history of the iconic PSA Men’s World Championship to have six players in the quarter-final stage after Ramy Ashour, Fares Dessouky and Tarek Momen all won to bring the third round action to a close at the Wadi Degla Club in Cairo. Coming just a day after Egyptian trio Mohamed ElShorbagy, Karim Abdel Gawad and Ali Farag booked their quarter-final berths, Ashour led the charge as he dispatched England’s Daryl Selby by an 11-6, 8-11, 11-5, 11-6 margin. “I think after the first game I wanted to win and that was a mistake,” said Ashour. “I should just stick to playing. I got excited and then got hard on myself. Then the second game went well, but he started pushing me into all four corners and I wasn’t really playing like I was in the first game. “He really pushed me, he really tested my movement big time. It was really deep in all four corners and he was smacking nicks and cross courts. He just really made me work today and I’m glad because I need to work harder and harder, if I’m going to win at some point then I have to earn it.” Dessouky, meanwhile, came through a gladiatorial five-game battle with Malaysia’s Nafiizwan Adnan to seal his place in the last eight for the first time in his career. The match was highly-charged and swayed between moments of free-flowing squash and periods of scrappy play, with a number of decisions being made in an encounter punctuated with lets and strokes. With the scores tied at two-games apiece, Dessouky – buoyed on by a partizan home crowd – held the nerves at bay to close out a 13-11, 6-11, 11-6, 10-12, 11-6 victory and seal a last eight berth. “It was hard for me play the fifth game and be focused from the beginning because of the last two decisions of the fourth game,” explained Dessouky, who will meet Ashour in the next round. e,” explained Dessouky, who will meet Ashour in the next round. “It was a hard match for me. I had to focus in the fifth game, which was good for me to find out how good I am mentally. I kept pushing in the fifth game. “The crowd was incredible, it reminds me of the El Gouna tournament where they did the same thing to me. They stayed behind me and kept pushing me forward to win the matches and win the semi-finals there. It’s something good for me and it’s incredible.” Momen was also forced to battle through a five-game encounter after he dispatched World No.7 Marwan ElShorbagy, the younger brother of World No.1 Mohamed. Momen twice took a one-game lead, only to see a dogged ElShorbagy come back both times to restore parity. It was the latter who would eventually triumph in the decider though, bringing the curtain down on a 78-minute encounter by a 11-9, 9-11, 11-8, 9-11, 11-3 margin to set up a next round meeting with defending champion Gregory Gaultier. “I’m actually surprised how I managed to get the big lead in the fifth the way I did,” admitted Momen. “There are a lot of positives to take out of this match. I’m in the quarter-finals of the World Championship and I’m just trying to enjoy it as much as possible.” Defending champion Gaultier will join three-time winner Nick Matthew in the next round as the only non-Egyptian competitors after he overcame Hong Kong’s Tsz Fung Yip in straight games. The Frenchman recovered from a slow start to take an 11-8, 11-2, 11-6 victory to keep his hopes of retaining his title alive. “I felt a bit flat at the end of the warm-up and then I had to wake up and find the solution quite quick or otherwise I would have lost the first game in five minutes without making him work,” said Gaultier. “He was sharp in the first few points, he was on to my balls quickly and has really good hands at the front. Suddenly, I managed to play at a faster pace and wake myself up. I won the first and then the confidence came and it was like having another mini man on the court.” Results – Third Round (Bottom Half): 2016 PSA Men’s World Squash Championship [15] Fares Dessouky (EGY) bt Nafiizwan Adnan (MAS) 3-2: 13-11, 6-11, 11-6, 10-12, 11-6 (99m) [5] Ramy Ashour (EGY) bt Daryl Selby (ENG) 3-1: 11-6, 8-11, 11-5, 11-6 (66m) [11] Tarek Momen (EGY) bt [7] Marwan ElShorbagy (EGY) 3-2: 11-9, 9-11, 11-8, 9-11, 11-3 (78m) [2] Gregory Gaultier (FRA) bt Tsz Fung Yip (HKG) 3-0: 11-8, 11-2, 11-6 (31m) Draw – Quarter-Final [1] Mohamed ElShorbagy (EGY) v [10] Ali Farag (EGY) [6] Karim Abdel Gawad (EGY) v [4] Nick Matthew (ENG) [15] Fares Dessouky (EGY) v [5] Ramy Ashour (EGY) [11] Tarek Momen (EGY) v [2] Gregory Gaultier (FRA) Source: https://psaworldtour.com/news/view/4287/worlds-day-five-roundup-egyptians-make-history

really sad that Blue Jays misses another world series final in the 2nd consecutive year after losing to Indians in ALCS and i think Indians have made a perfect post season and they deserve that title

2 things ignored me in this WCH , 1st playing each event in only 1 hour , not allowing players to take rest , although we can have only 3 events per day like what we see in taekwondo for example , 2nd playing half of national anthems for gold medalists , tv broadcasting wasn't good enough for me , in many situations i couldn't decide who deserve the point because of tv broadcasting

5 medals for Egypt with only one gold , not the result i was looking for after 3 golds last wch , but still not a bad result too , hopefully we can get those 5 medals in Tokyo 2020 , the best thing for Egyptian participation is that Giana Farouk continued her winning rhythm in world championships after winning youth , junior and U23 WCH , now she's 2-time senior world champion and she can looks for more in the next tournaments , Sara Sayed reaching women's kata final was a big surprise for me , she wasn't supposed to play this wch , as she replaced the injured Aya Ismael just few days before wch , Omar Abdelrahman was another surprise in men's -75kg

really sad that many talents in men's foil won't play at WC in Cairo , sadly the tournament comes at the start of post - olympic season , so many players are just having a rest , but at least we'll have the Olympic champion Garozzo participating

World No.1 Mohamed ElShorbagy won his 2nd Squash US open title after defeating 3-time world open champion Nick Matthew after retirement of the last in the 5th set , while Camille Serme has taken women's title after defeating this year world champion and No.1 Nour Elsherbini 3-1 in the final of one of the major tournaments of squash

R.I.P very sad news

the goal was 100 % correct even your players didn't argue the referee , for the suspected penalty in the last minute of 2nd extra time , the ball touched our player hand , but it wasn't on purpose that's why it wasn't given for Italy
