"It was a really tough match. Most of the match I was nervous. He is very experienced and has some great shots. He was going for them and they were coming in so I had to work hard.

"I'd like to thank Tomas for organising the tournament. People here were very friendly with us."



"Very close game. I changed my tactics in the fourth game and made too many mistakes in the end. But I enjoyed the match. It was very nice tournament and I would like to come back next year again."

"Congratulations to Omar for his win. He played really well today. I was a little tired from my four matches in last two days. I tried my best to play and win but he has a lot of experience."

"Very close match. The deciding game was the second where I came back from 0/7. All in all I was happy with the way I played."



"I am ... (censored).

I lost the second from being 7/0 up. I expected to get tired but during the match I realized he was maybe more tired than I was. But I was not able to use it and that's why I am disappointed to loose even more."

"I expected him not to like my slow pace as those young players usually like to hit the ball hard, so I slowed it down and it worked well for me. He also got a bit nervous after I came back after losing the first easily, which gave me the confidence to fight and finally win the match."



"I played well in my first match, Petr played excellent squash to level at 1/1. But after that I was moving and hitting targets very well. I was happy to win the first match. Quarters was interesting. He did not try in the first. I relaxed after that and when he started to play well I lost my confidence. I am a bit disappointed to lose but Martin played really solid squash today."

Karim Abdel Gawad beat Adrian Waller in four. The first three games were very close and hard fought and also full of decisions by the referee. After Adrian lost the second and third after having gameballs in both he lost his composure in fourth and Karim raced through to the semis.

Top seed Mark Rogers beat Issa Kamara very comfortably. He was in control for the whole match and pleased the spectators with a number of shots.

The second Czech player in the quarters was Lukas Jelinek, who played Egyptian Omar Abdel Meguid. Omar won the first easily, Lucas came back strong to level. Lukas led in the first part of third and fourth but Omar was always able to come back and win both games at the end with a help from mistakes by Lukas.

"I was not reading him in the first at all. Then I got used to it so I manage to keep him in the rallies and it was very close. I am quite happy with my game but I always made a bad mistakes at the end of the games."

"Adrian is very strong, his basic game is very good. He made also a few things which led to my loss of concentration.

"I did not succeed to play a safe game. I took a lot of risks in the first so I had to play basic squash like Adrian after that. In the fourth game I was finally able to play my game.

"I am glad to reach the semi-finals."



"Disappointed with how I played today. I feel I was hard done at crucial times of the match by referee."

"I felt really confident in my evening match, all my shots were coming in. In my first match I was a bit shaky and was happy to win 3/0".



"My first match was tough. I tried to be patient. Dom played really well but I knew if I would be patient I would win the match and that is what happened at the end.

"In the quarters I was not moving well. I was very slow. I did not make it very hard for Mark and this way you can not win. He was just too strong and consistent."

"Peter is very fit and quick. I made a lot of effort to make him tired. First three games were very tough. I am glad I won the match."



"I am very glad I won and got to the main draw. Rudi is a good player but I was more lucky today. I played to my gameplan and it worked well for me."



"Glad to get through to the first round. Not the best squash I have ever played. I played better in my second match so hopefully I will keep on improving as the tournament goes on."



"I am sad I had to beat my teammate to qualify for main draw of PSA event for the first time."
