As the no. 1 and 2 seeds, Aamir Atlas Khan (Pak) and Mohamed El Shorbagy (Egy) swept their opponents out of the Center Court of Vitis. At no point of the matches Andrew Wagih Shoukry (Egy) and Ivan Yuen (Mas) got time to settle and find their rhythm. Only 36 and 30 minutes were needed to finish their semi-final dreams. Surprisingly the no. four seed Greg Marche was defeated by the 5to8 seed Waqar Mehboob (Pak). The last quarter-final match kept Swiss home hopes Nicolas Mueller (3) alive.
