British Nationals Feb 2016The Main Draw of the 2016 Nationals kicks off tonight with the top two seeds Nick Matthew and James Willstrop, being ranked in the top 12 ranked players in the World.

The Scottish hope comes from No.6 seed Greg Lobban (PSA World No.37) and Joel Makin made it through the qualifiers to represent Wales

I think Chris Simpson may be the man to keep an eye on, but what do I know!

In the women’s draw the top two seeds Laura Massaro (PSA World No.1) and Alison Waters (PSA No.13) look nailed on to reach the final (and it’s a shame that Sarah Jane Perry (PSA No.12) didn’t get a chance to meet Alison in the semi-finals – but you’ve got to beat everyone if you want to win!)

And don’t forget the age groups with Peter O’Hara, Fiona McLean, Mark James, Pauline Douglas, John Rae, David McAleese, Jim Dougal, Tom Adams, Colin McMullen & Rodger Longman all representing Scotland. I hope you all play to your best.

Nick Matthew beat Karim Abdel Gawad in the semi-final of the 2015 AJ Bell British Grand Prix. The World No.2 progresses to his third consecutive final at the British Grand Prix, where this year he will face World No.1 Mohamed Elshorbagy.

Nick said about his semi-final opponent “Karim offered a different challenge to my other opponents. I’ve never played him before and with his silky skills he presented a totally different challenge. I never felt totally settled” (Nick Matthew (ENG) bt Karim Abdel Gawad 3-0: 11-7, 11-6, 13-11)

Top seed Mohamed Elshorbagy won 3-2 against Gregory Gaultier in the 2nd semi-final as the crowd were treated to an impressive display of athleticism from both players, which went in Elshorbagy’s favour as the 24-year-old finished won in the 5th game 7-11, 11-9, 11-7, 6-11, 11-8.
