ELSHORBAGY WITHDRAWS FROM GRASSHOPPER CUP

World No.10 Marwan ElShorbagy has withdrawn from next week’s Grasshopper Cup.

As a result of his withdrawal, India’s World No.11 Saurav Ghosal replaces ElShorbagy as the No.8 seed and receives a bye into the second round.

Frenchman Mathieu Castagnet was due to play Ghosal in round one, but he will now play England’s Chris Simpson, who moves into the draw.
