PETALING JAYA: Eighth seed Addeen Idrakie (pic) may be ranked higher but he is not planning to ignore the threat from lower ranked Karim Elbarbary of Egypt in the Cincinnati Queens Open. The world number 112 Addeen faces the 19-year-old Elbarbary in the second round in the US. While the 27-year-old Addeen received a first round bye, the 173rd ranked Elbarbary came through the opening round on Wednesday after defeating Mark Broekman of England 11-8, 11-6, 11-6. Although they will be playing for the first time, Addeen says all the Egyptian players’ games are about the same. But I am more focused on my game plan and will not let other elements affect me,” said Addeen.
