Qatar's Al Tamimi Seeks to Advance to Next Round of PSA Men's World Championship

Doha, November 09 (QNA) - Qatar's Abdulla Al Tamimi said that his goal now is to focus on the next round of the 2019 PSA Men's World Championship in Doha after he secured a win against French Gregoire Marche in the round one of the championship which kicked off in Doha on Friday. "My goal now is to really focus on the next round and make sure I play well again, if I do then I have a chance to win," Al Tamim said after his match today. "I'm really relieved, I've played a lot of matches here, I've had a lot of big battles and I still remember the Nick Matthew match. "I had my chances, but I couldn't make it. I couldn't play that well for a couple of years, and I had to wait for the World Championships in 2019 to finally have my first major win here in Qatar. "It felt really good, I saw the happiness in my dad's eyes and all of my family and friends are here, so I'm glad I made everyone proud. I don't want to stop here, I'm really looking forward to the next round. "I lost a bit of concentration and my length in the third game. I was thinking that I had to have a good length at the start of the fourth game because the winners would come after. Even though he was coming back at me, I tried to always keep the lead over him." Al Tamimi will play another Frenchman, Mathieu Castagnet, in the next round. (QNA)
