WSA

7:30pm – [4] Hollie Naughton (CAN, 75) vs. [1] Kanzy Emad El-Defrawy (EGY, 76)

PSA

6pm – [1] Joe Lee (ENG; 32) vs. [4] Eddie Charlton (ENG; 55)
8:30pm – Jens Schoor (GER; 87) vs. [2] Karim Ali Fathi (EGY; 46)

Notes:

• The WSA final is likely to be a power game. Both players used strength to overcome their opponents. Hard to say who will have the end as Hollie is currently ranked 75th in the world and Kanzy is 76th.

o Players will take home $825 and $571 USD and earn 210 and 138 points.
o A player averaging 210 points per event would be ranked 41st in the WSA.
o A player averaging 138 points per event would be ranked 52nd in the WSA
o Both players will see their current ranks improve from their results in the 2014 NASH Cup

• The first PSA Semi-Final will feature fellow Englishmen Joe Lee and Eddie Charlton. They have faced each other twice before with Joe coming out on top both times. (2011 & 2013)
• The second PSA Semi-Final Karim Ali Fathi of Egypt will face Jens Schoor of Germany. Karim has a 1-0 record against Jens (2012)

o Those losing the Friday matches will earn just over $1,100 USD and 105 ranking points. To put this in prospective an average score of 105 would rank a PSA player at 59th in the world.
