When you have to do that for 15 or 20 minutes you get pretty tired and as the tiredness sets in you start to get frustrated. The emphasis of the victory may be useful psychology for the Scot should the meet in the World Open at their next stop in Cairo. The World Open in Cairo is a one-off event where Ahmed's performances will be differently constructed for thousands of fans. It may not be so easy tomorrow either. The Cathay Pacific final will be the 16 th clash between Power and Nicol, with the score riding 9-6 in the Canadian's favour so far.
Power has the world title and the top ranking spot.
Nicol has the Commonwealth Gold and the Super Series crown. Power says he is ready for the 16 th clash. I don't want to reveal too much of myself here, but I think I have worked my game up through the tournament well enough to have a chance of defending his title against Peter. He knows as well as I do that I am the player he least wants to meet anywhere, anytime. Nicol has a different view.
