It was a great day for Egypt at the finals of the Tecnifibre Junior Open in Sheffield, as it has been for the last few years to be fair. With 13 of the 16 finalists wearing Egyptian colours and representation in every final, at least five titles were sure to be going their way before a ball was struck.
In the event it was an impressive seven, with Pakistan claiming one and home hopes dashed this time around.
