After a tight first game, El Sherbini powered to a 11-9, 11-4, 11-5 victory.

"She’s been giving very tough matches for lots of the top players now," said El Sherbini.

"First round and first time to play her, it was difficult in the beginning but really glad I got back to my game plan in the last two games."

With world number one Ali Farag absent, Mohamed ElShorbagy will hope to seize his opportunity in his home tournament.

ElShorbagy came through his first test as he defeated Scotland’s world number 21 Greg Lobban 11-7, 11-3, 12-10.
