  "account": "Eain Yow Ng staged a remarkable comeback in the London Squash Classic, defeating fourth seed Aly Abou Eleinen of Egypt to become the first major upset of the tournament. The world No. 18 player stunned the top-ranked Egyptian with a hard-fought 7-11, 11-4, 11-9 victory in the longest match of the second round at Alexandra Palace.\n\nEain Yow, who suffered a disappointing quarter-final exit at the Budapest Open, admitted it took him some time to adjust to Ali's rapid-fire play. He told PSA Squash Tour, \"I think I bounced back really well. Aly was firing it in so quickly, and it took me some time to get used to it. I played really well in the second game and towards the tail end of the third.\"\n\nDespite acknowledging there are areas for improvement, Yow expressed confidence in his progress. \"I know we've trained a lot, so we know each other's games really well,\" he said. \"I think it will come down to who is the better player on the day.\" The world No. 11 Egyptian will next face fellow Egyptian Youssef Soliman in the semi-finals.",
