Finals
Evans and Orfi Take Titles
Amina Orfi (centre left) and Emyr Evans (centre right)
Welshman Emyr Evans and Egypt’s Amina Orfi secured the titles at the
Sutton Coldfield International this week in England.
Evans came into the tournament as the No.3 seed, and was yet to win a
title despite having appeared seven finals. However, he changed that
this week by claiming his maiden Tour victory at the Sutton Coldfield
International.
After receiving a bye through the opening round of action, the Welshman
started his campaign in the second round with a four-game victory
against England’s Perry Malik, before then getting the better of another
Englishman, in No.5 seed Ben Smith. He came from a game down to beat
Smith in four games in the last eight.
The semi-finals saw the World No.102 get the better of compatriot
Elliott Morris Devred. Evans won the all-Welsh clash in straight games
to move through to the final. He took on No.2 seed Simon Herbert in the
final on Saturday evening, and he was in control in the contest, winning
in four games to claim his maiden Tour title.
Meanwhile, Egypt’s Amina Orfi extended her winning run to ten matches,
as she claimed a second successive victory. The 15-year-old claimed her
maiden Tour success at the 4th HCL SRFI Indian Tour – Jodhpur Leg at the
end of November, and once again, she came into the Challenger 5 level
women’s event in Sutton Coldfield unseeded.
However, she was able to come through the field to secure another title.
That started with a solid victory over South Africa’s Savannah Ingledew
in the opening round, before beating No.5 seed Yasshmita Jadishkumar in
straight games to make it into the quarters. There, she got the better
of fellow junior Asia Harris, winning in four games.
The young Egyptian then took on compatriot Hana Ismail in the
semi-finals, and he took the win in four games to move through to the
finale. On Saturday evening, Orfi took on New Zealand’s Kaitlyn Watts,
and won in straight games to secure back-to-back wins. |
Quarter Finals
Orfi and Ismail Set Up Surprise
Semi-Final

The Egyptian duo of Amina Orfi and Hana Ismail will meet in a
surprise semi-final clash at the Sutton Coldfield International in
England.
The pair both came into the tournament unseeded, with Orfi having
claimed her maiden Tour title just last month. The 15-year-old continued
her unbeaten run into this week’s Challenger 5 level tournament in
Sutton Coldfield, and she got the better of No.4 seed Asia Harris to
reach the semis.
Orfi, who also succeeded at the World Junior Championships earlier this
year, dropped just two points in the opening game of her quarter final
contest on Thursday. She then won the second game 11-9 to double her
advantage, but Harris, who also secured her maiden Tour title last
month, fought back. The young Egyptian came through the battle, though.
After losing the third 15-13, she took the fourth 11-5 to secure the
victory.
She will now face compatriot Hana Ismail in the last four, after her
fellow Egyptian downed No.2 seed Alison Thomson. Like Orfi, she went two
games ahead, but saw her opponent fight back to win the third. Ismail
got the job done in four, winning the fourth 12-10, to advance to the
semi-finals.
The other women’s semi-final will see top seed Anna Kimberley take on
New Zealand’s Kaitlyn Watts. The Englishwoman got the better of Finnish
No.2 Emilia Korhonen to make it through, while Watts had to go the
distance in her quarter final contest with Scotland’ Katriona Allen,
eventually winning in a fifth game.
Along with the Egyptian double in the women’s event, there was also a
surprise in the men’s draw. Scotland’s Alasdair Prott continued his
knockout run, downing No.4 seed James Peach in a five-game battle to
make the last four.

Prott got the better of No.8 seed Owain Taylor on Wednesday, and came
into his quarter final contest full of confidence. The Scot won the
first on a tie-break 14-12, but saw Peach fight back to level. After the
same pattern followed in the next two games, the match went to a
decider, and it was Prott that took the fifth game 11-8 to secure a fine
victory.
He will now face No.2 seed Simon Herbert in the last four, after the
Englishman also went to five in his quarter final. He survived a
fight-back from New Zealand’s Temwa Chileshe to win in 65 minutes. The
other semi will be an all-Welsh affair, with Emyr Evans and Elliott
Morris Devred set to do battle on Friday evening.
The semis of the Sutton Coldfield International will take place on
Friday, December 2, with the final four in both draws doing battle. You

Round 1
MacGregor Downs Top Seed
England’s Stuart MacGregor caused the major upset on day two in Sutton
Coldfield, as he overcame top seed Lwamba Chileshe to make the quarter
finals.
MacGregor defeated Polish No.1 Filip Jarota on the opening day to set up
a clash with the top seed, and he was in great form once again. The
Englishman claimed the opening game 11-3, before seeing the Kiwi, fight
back to take the second and level the contest.
The third game was crucial in the contest, and after a tie-break in
which both men had their chances, it was MacGregor who took it 13-11,
before going on to win the fourth 1-9 as well to secure a surprise
victory, and to set up a clash with Welshman Elliott Morris Devred.
The other seeding upset in the men’s event saw Scotland’s Alasdair Prott
get the better of No.8 seed Owain Taylor. The Scot won in straight games
in just half an hour, winning 11-6, 11-4, 11-9 to book his spot in the
quarter finals.
In the women’s draw, reigning World Junior Champion Amina Orfi downed
Malaysia’s No.5 seed Yasshmita Jadishkumar in straight games, dropping
just 11 points in the process. The 15-year-old Egyptian, who claimed her
maiden Tour title last week in India, won 11-2, 11-3, 11-6 to make her
way into the last eight.
She is joined by compatriot Hana Ismail, who defied England’s Kiera
Marshall in three. The first couple of games were both tight, but the
Egyptian came through them both to hold a 2-0 lead, before then winning
the third game 11-2 to secure the victory.
The Sutton Coldfield International continues on Thursday, December 1,
with the quarter finals of the tournament. You can follow live scores
