QSF 4: Tournament Preview

Just two days on from the finale of the QSF 3, the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex in Doha plays host to another Challenger Tour event, this time, the QSF 4.

The Challenger 10 level tournament will follow the exact same running order as last week’s event, and once again Egypt’s Yahya Elnawasany, the winner on Thursday, will be the top seed for this week’s event.

The only difference in the draw is that there is an influx of Hongkongers, following the Hong Kong Football Club Christmas PSA, which took place last week. Chi Him Wong, who won the event, will be one of five from the Asian nation among the top eight seeds.

He will be joined by Henry Leung, Tsz Kwan Lau, Max Lee and Tang Ming Hong in this week’s draw in Doha, while Egypt’s Mazen Gamal and Qatari No.2 Syed Azlan Amjad make up the rest of the top eight seeds.

The event takes place from Sunday 26 to Wednesday 29 at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex in Doha. Follow the PSA Challenger Tour on Twitter and Facebook for daily updates from the event.
