[1] Mostafa Asal (EGY) 3-0 [7] Mohamed ElShorbagy (ENG) 11-4, 11-7, 11-8 (45m)
Asal : “He’s a legend of the game, he’s so clever, and his IQ in squash is second to none.
“He’s very impressive in his tactics and he does a lot of mathematics on the squash court. He’s a beast, there is no way I would be playing like that at 35 years of age. He’s one of the characters that changed squash. He’s battled through lots of legends like Ramy [Ashour] and we’ve been watching him since we were kids in El Gouna.
“He should be proud of himself, he’s amazing, thank you Mohamed.
“He’s super clever and he adapted in the second game. I hope everyone enjoyed this match as much as I did. It’s a good one for the crowd, and I’m really happy with this performance.
“I’m really happy to perform on court in front of everyone on different courts and different cities. It’s amazing to be in Wimbledon, thanks once again to Bassim [Haidar, title sponsor] for putting on an event here.”
