CIB Black Ball Open RD2 Roundup: Dessouky Ends Gawad’s Title Defence
News
Egypt’s World No.11 Fares Dessouky ended the title defence of fellow Egyptian and World No.5 Karim Abdel Gawad to reach the quarter-finals of the men’s CIB Black Ball Squash Open, PSA World Tour Gold tournament.
Dessouky, 26, is making his first appearance at this tournament after missing out on the inaugural 2018 edition due to injury, and he got the better of the only man ever to get his hands on this trophy, winning 11-6, 9-11, 3-11, 11-2, 11-3 in 52 minutes.
It was a back and forth encounter which saw the lead change hands multiple times but, after taking the third game comfortably, Gawad fell completely off the pace as Dessouky moved in for the kill, meaning there will be a new name on the men’s trophy this year.
