Script:
We now know who will be in the finals of the Windy City Open in Chicago.
Number one seed Mohamed El Shorbagy will be in the men's final after he saw off his younger brother Marwan in this semi-final.
It was straight forward for last year's US Open winner, he won it 12-10, 11-8, 11-4.
He will face Nick Matthew for the trophy, the Englishman beat defending champion Gregory Gaultier. The Frenchman levelled after Matthew took the first game but the Sheffield man dominated the next two 11-6, 11-5 to book his place in the final.
In the last four of the women's competition Malaysia's Nicol David beat Nour El Tayeb 11-9, 13-11, 12-10.
The number one seed will face another Egyptian in the final, Raneem El Welily beat Camille Serme 11-8, 8-11, 8-11, 11-9, 11-3. A thrilling match to win but you wonder how much energy that will have taken out of her.
