England's Adrian Grant led the assault with a 15-6 15-10 15-8 upset over Pakistan's 13th seed Mansoor Zaman in just 28 minutes. Cousin Shahid Zaman later reported that Mansoor was unwell. "Certainly Adrian's controlled game can't have made him feel any better!" commented Tournament Director Robert Edwards. Grant, the 22-year-old world No28 from London who is now based in Halifax, Yorkshire, will next meet third seed John White. The Scot needed 54 minutes to overcome Nottingham club-mate Renan Lavigne, the world No20 from France, 17-15 15-11 17-16. Another Nottingham player Simon Parke, the 15th seed, will also return home earlier than expected. The former world No3, now ranked 13, crashed out 15-7 15-12 2-15 15-6 in 51 minutes to Australia's unseeded Paul Price, a former world No4 whose recent form has seen him slip to 25 in the current list. Price will now face compatriot Anthony Ricketts, fresh from his maiden appearance in last week's Super Series Finals in London. The 6th seed, however, was taken the full distance by England's 'veteran' Stephen Meads before the 24-year-old from Brisbane eventually secured his 15-8 12-15 15-5 16-17 15-4 victory in the longest match of the day. "Stephen had enough energy and know how to extend Anthony in 78 minutes of graft - he has never put in less than 100% in his entire PSA career," noted Edwards. Canada's Graham Ryding claimed the scalp of 11th seed Amr Shabana, beating the Egyptian 15-10 15-14 15-4 in 29 minutes to earn a second round clash with England's top seed and defending champion Peter Nicol. The world No1 needed 51 minutes to overcome compatriot Nick Matthew 15-6 15-12 15-14 to remain on course to meet arch rival Jonathon Power in Saturday's final - just eight days after losing to the Canadian in the closest Super Series Finals final on record. Power, the No2 seed, leads the second day of first round matches on the all-glass court in Doha. Welshman David Evans, the former British Open champion, has withdrawn from the event with food poisoning - and will be replaced by Australia's John Williams.
