RAMY ASHOUR WARMLY WELCOMES YOU AT THE 2012 BRITISH OPEN

(British Open 2012, first round: Ramy Ashour vs. Daryl Selby). 
The truth is that there were a lot less of these volley-nicks off the serve today as one might expect it from Ramy Ashour. I guess it was down to a two main factors. 1) First round of a tournament, you are always a bit more conservative 2) Daryl Selby served throughout the match very cleverly, varying wide serves often with serves hit straight onto the body. In fact, the current serve is one of the latter ones, just too high, which allowed Ramy to put it away the way he likes it. Ramy won 3:1 and will play Borja Golan on Wednesday (and Amr Shabana on Friday if both make it to that stage. Rather likely. That should make a near full house, shouldn't it).
