WORLD MEN'S TEAM SQUASH CHAMPIONSHIPS - SPORTS AND AQUATICS CENTRE, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - FIRST DAY, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22

Pool F:
Egypt bt USA 3-0 (O Elborolossy bt D Walker 9-4, 9-2, 9-0; A Shabana bt R chin 9-6, 9-0, 9-0; M Abbas bt T Wyant 9-0, 9-0, 9-1);

US SUFFER AT HANDS OF HOLDERS
The USA put up little resistance against holders Egypt in a daunting first round tie in Pool F at the world team championships. Damian Walker, Richard Chin and Tim Wyant all went down in straight games and will be hoping for better in the next round against France.

Egypt, the no six seeds, fielded three players in the world's top 36, while none of the Americans are in the top 40.

The scorelines were as one-sided as the statistics. Omar Elborolossy beat Walker 9-4, 9-2, 9-0 in the top match, Amr Shabana eased past Chin 9-6, 9-0, 9-0 in the second string and Mohamed Abbas completed victory with a 9-0, 9-0, 9-1 win over Wyant
