Seventh seed Natalie was first in action on the all-glass court on the stunning island setting close to the Hurghada coast - against England's elder stateswoman Fiona Geaves. Grinham, 25, from Toowoomba in Queensland, lost the opening game but eventually wore down her 35-year-old opponent 7-9 9-4 9-6 9-1 in 50 minutes. In-form Rachael, who celebrated her new world No3 status by reaching last week's Heliopolis Open final in Cairo, hardly had the best preparation for her opening match 48 hours after the Cairo climax. The fourth seed had set off for Hurghada across the desert from her home in Cairo by car, but it overheated and needed to be nursed back to the capital. Unable to get a seat on a flight, she opted for a five-hour overnight bus ride rather than a camel ride to make the venue. Despite this, Rachael crushed New Zealand qualifier Shelley Kitchen 9-2 9-1 9-1 in just 25 minutes to set up a return bout with the sister who had beaten her for the first time ever at the Texas Open three months ago. "Coming off my good results, I am pretty confident and really looking forward to revenge against my sister!" said Grinham the elder, with firm intent behind the grin. The second match of the evening featured 17-year-old Omneya Abdel Kawy, the home hope of the crowd and national TV viewers watching live. Looking trim, the hot favourite for the World Junior title in three months time looked destined to disappoint as her opponent, fifth seed Vanessa Atkinson, dominated the early exchanges. The crowd tried to rouse their young star, but prolonged applause for rallies won were not enough to kick start a late challenge and Dutch No1 Atkinson surged to a 9-3 10-8 9-4 victory in 36 minutes. "Omneya is unpredictable and tonight started poorly," said the delighted winner afterwards. "But I knew that she would come out fighting in the second and had I lost that it could have been a whole different match." The first day of the two-day first round action finished on a high with 65-minute battle between England's experienced No2 seed Linda Charman and Malaysian qualifier Nicol David, the 19-year-old former world No16 making a comeback after a layoff last year. Now based in Amsterdam, David buzzes and bounces and made life very difficult for seasoned campaigner Charman, who had to call on her experience to deal with her youthful opponent. While the twice world junior champion from Penang is clearly on the rise, Charman was not ready to let her push past quite yet and ultimately forged a 7-9 9-6 9-6 9-3 win. "Nicol is so fast," Charman commented afterwards. "If you don't get on to the ball early and attack her you are in big trouble. I started slowly but got into it eventually." New Zealand's top seed Carol Owens takes on England's Stephanie Brind in Thursday's remaining first round matches - which also feature [8] Rebecca Macree (ENG) v [Q] Salma Shabana (EGY); [3] Tania Bailey (ENG) v [Q] Carla Khan (PAK); and [6] Cassie Jackman (ENG) v Vicky Botwright (ENG).
