Egypt’s Nour El Tayeb has withdrawn from the upcoming Cleveland Classic, which takes place between January 27-31, due to personal reasons.
El Tayeb was seeded third for the PSA World Tour Bronze event, and her withdrawal means that USA’s Olivia Fiechter moves up to the No.4 seeded position. The World No.11 will get a bye into round two.
Meanwhile, England’s Georgina Kennedy moves up to the No.8 seeded position and she too gets a bye into the last 16.
Malaysia’s Rachel Arnold takes Kennedy’s spot as one of the 9/16 seeds and she will take on Dutchwoman Tessa ter Sluis in round one. Emilia Soini has also withdrawn from the event, and her spot has been taken up by Egypt’s Menna Nasser.
