As world No1 Nick Matthew had to fight for 65 minutes to beat English compatriot Daryl Selby 12-10, 11-7, 11-8, most other seeded players have gone to the quarters. Only 7th seed Egyptian Mohamed El Shorbagy (pic back) did not make it. He was not able to use the 1:0-lead to shake off Malaysian Azlan Iskandar (pic front) who had the upper hand (6-11, 11-6, 14-12, 11-7) after 56 minutes.
