DOHA (Qatar): Mohamed El Sherbini opened his Qatar Classic campaign with an easy first round win over Qatar’s Syed Azlan Amjad here on Sunday morning.
ElSherbini, making his Qatar Classic debut, won 11-6, 11-8, 11-9 while Amjad got a wild-card entry into the tournament.
The 28-year-old from Cairo will take on Frenchman Gregoire Marche in the next round.
“It’s my first match since March, so I haven’t played for a while,” said ElSherbini after the match.
“I was injured after Chicago right away and I couldn’t find my rhythm today, I was all over the place. I don’t know how I’m going to play like this tomorrow, I have to play much better than that, but I’m glad to win in three. I’m just going to play and enjoy my time on court,” added the world No.31.
