Well 4 days ago I packed my stuff and heading to New York for the Carol Weymuller 2012,At that time the draws were are out and I had Camille Serme of France in the first round.

Camille was always a great player and a player that I always struggle against, back in time when my best result was taking a game in Hurghada international open 2010 so I didn't know what’s going to happen this time.

I trained a couple of time on the Court when I arrived, The Court seemed hot and the ball was really bouncy that literally it doesn't die when I place a nick shot, So I was facing two opponents at that time a great French player and the court !

Well the match day came I entered the court and focusing on two points is to stop Camille's superb speed on court and to find winning shots on that court.

The match was too tight and as I said Camille was really good, but I managed to stay solid till the end of the match after being 2/1 down in games and 10/9 and 12/11 match ball I managed to take the fifth 14/12 at the end. 

I just remembered the training hours I spend, skipping school and taking my parents all over the world to watch me and be happy, Losing from the first round won't be a good reward for the hard work my parents are doing.

The Second match was Jenny Duncalf the World number 4, Jenny of Course is one of the big names, I beat her in March at the Nicol David open 2012 3/2 so I didn't expect what’s going to happen this time, I just had a phone call with Omar discussed the match and I decided as usual to stay calm and enjoy the match without any pressure.

The match went extremely well I controlled most of the points holding the T, Jenny Played well but I managed to win 3/0 at the end To face Raneem Tomorrow in the semi finals.

Last time we played it was 3/1 to me but this time never know what’s going to happen. 

Will keep you updated after Today's match.
