Final Day of the British Open

Marwan El Shorbagy

Final day in Birmingham and it’s the day of the finals! So exciting. We were ready to see some great squash and boy, did we ever! Our day started with a great breakfast just before the start of the Girls U15 final.  What a great way to start off our spectating, the winner of the final came back from 2-0 down to win it in the 5th.  The reaction from the crowd was amazing!
We watched squash up until the end of the Girls U17 final, 3-0 match. As Ryan, Amin, Sara, Zara and I were watching this match from above the glass court, I was looking around when all of a sudden I saw a bunch of juniors taking pictures and getting autographs with this guy downstairs. I was freaking out because right downstairs was Marwan El Shorbagy! #5 in the world!! We needed to meet him so we rushed downstairs and got a picture with him.  That officially ended my first British Open on a high note.  
We had to go because the Khan's driver was at the hotel to pick us up and drive us to London where we were staying the night before our flight tomorrow.  The 2ish hour driver didn’t seem that bad considering we played Heads Up the entire time.  Everyone but Amin was exhausted from the car ride. He was ready to go do anything whereas we just wanted to eat and sleep. After a quick stop at KFC for dinner (yay more fast food) we decided to put on a movie.  That was pretty much what we did all night, 5 of us watching Catching Fire off of a small tablet screen in our room.  Early morning tomorrow after an eventful day! Oh and did I mention we got the coolest sweaters at the tournament? You could decide which logos to put up on it and they are comfy. Great times. Hannah.
