Carrus Nations Cup 2022: Order Of Play – Day Four

New Zealand ‘A’ vs England: Coll vs ElShorbagy

Home favourite and World No.2 Paul Coll and World No.4 Mohamed ElShorbagy both head into the final having won all three of their matches in the pool stage.

Coll registered a 4-0 victory over Australian Rex Hedrick in the opener before seeing off Canada’s David Baillargeon 4-1 in the second match as New Zealand ‘A’ rose to the top of pool A, and the 30-year-old dispatched Greg Lobban of Scotland 4-0 yesterday to seal a place in the final for the host nation.

Meanwhile ElShorbagy, who’s won 74% of all available points during the tournament, has also been in impressive form – seeing off New Zealand ‘B’s Lwamba Chileshe 4-1 before claiming comprehensive straight set victories over Timothy Brownell and Sebastien Bonmalais.

On the PSA World Tour, ElShorbagy has the upperhand when he’s faced Coll, winning 11 of their 16 clashes. Will that count for the Englishman in the final or will the home crowd work in Coll’s favour?

New Zealand ‘A’ vs England: King vs Perry

World No.5 Joelle King takes on World No.8 Sarah-Jane Perry in the other half of the Nations Cup final.

Like her teammate, King boasts a record of three wins from three from the pool stage heading into the decider. The 34-year-old saw off Australia’s Jessica Turnbull, Hollie Naughton of Canada and Scotland’s Lisa Aitken 4-1.

Perry dispatched New Zealand ‘B’s Kaitlyn Watts in straight sets in her opening match before edging past Olivia Clyne 4-3 in the second pool stage match, but lost out to Nele Gilis yesterday.

The pair have met 13 times on the PSA World Tour, with King claiming 10 wins. Will the New Zealander clinch another win on home court or will Perry come out on top?
