More upsets on Quarter-Finals Day at the Wimbledon Club
There was no let up in the upset results in the quarter-finals at The Wimbledon Club, as Mazen Hesham sensationally beaty top seed Ali Farag, and Baptiste Masotti beat in-form Joel Makin in straight games.
Hesham faces an all-Egyptian semi-final against Youssef Soliman, who ended the run of wildcard Charlie Lee, while Masotti faces 2019 champion Karim Abdel Gawad who ended the day with a four game win over Eain Yow Ng.
