2020 Men’s GOLD, Day ONE
After the dramatic conclusion of the Women’s Gold event, we’re straight into action in the Men’s event with eight first round matches in the top half of the draw.
While the women have just completed their third CIB Black Ball Open, this is the second men’s event after the inaugural Black Ball event at the end of 2018.
There were no upsets today with all eight seeded players – five of them Egyptian – winning a place in Round Two, and a rest day.
