What a day! Temperatures reached 95 degrees and two of our US players, Sherif Abdelwahab and Mohamad Kamal, were absolutely stellar in improving their records to 6-0 and 5-1 respectively. With 3 block matches remaining for all players over the next two days, these two fellows should be guaranteed spots in the top 32 Knock Out.
My other teammate, Matt Griffith and I will be relegated to the Plate (consolation) but we are both competing well and soaking up the experience. My first match this morning against Egypt's Nihal Ahmed lasted 3 hours although in the end I lost 7-6, 7-2. My second match was against another Egyptian player, Salah Hassan, and while I gave it my all, he was just too good!
