Egyptian Challenger #2: Elnawasany & Ibrahim Take Wins

At the second event on the Egyptian Challenger Tour, No.2 seeds Yahya Elnawasany and Sana Ibrahim have reigned supreme in Cairo.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament, which took place at the Cairo International Stadium, was restricted to only domestic entrants.

The men’s event went very much the same way as the first tournament on the Egyptian Challenger Tour in 2021, with the top two seeds, in Moustafa El Sirty and Yahya Elnawasany, making the final.

However, it would be the No.2 seed that took the victory, beating El Sirty for the first time. He won in straight games to secure the second title of his career.

The women’s event saw several shocks, with wildcard Fayrouz Aboelkheir, the 15-year-old that amazingly won three weeks ago, making it through to the last eight this time round.

However, her run at the tournament came to an end at the hands of No.8 seed Kenzy Ayman, who came through to the final, after also getting the better of top seed Jana Shiha.

The final would be a no-contest, though, with Ayman not taking to court, meaning Sana Ibrahim also claimed her second title as a professional.
