I entered this tournament as preperation for the World Open. However when i got back from playing in Paris i played a practice match with the World Junior Champion, and training partner Mohammed El Shorbaggy.

20 mins into the match i pulled the top of my Hamstring/Glut attachment on my right leg, while doing a heavy lunge. I had four days before playing the 1st round in Wolverhampton, and to my dismay this was not enough time, i had to pull out of my Match. This is the worst feeling for any Professional sportsman. I had to way up the options of damaging myself even more, and then failing to play in the Saudi Qualifiers and possibly the World Open. These are the trials and tribulations of professional sport. If you are a true warrior then you come back stronger from such unfortunate events.
