Egypt is the squash analog of Iran in volleyball. We just can't seem to beat Egyptians in squash.

Saurav failed to find his rhythm against the similar ranked rising Peruvian player, Diego Elias ... Diego took advantage of it and won the 1st two games comfortably ... Saurav tried fightback but Diego make sure that match didn't extend to the 4th game.

Re: Saurav Ghoshal thread - PB WR # 11 in Oct 2018
Good to see strong performance from Saurav! Beating slightly lower ranked Egyptians in their own country is a good performance. Hopefully, he play a close QF...
But he ends up losing in QF relatively easily..
