Paul Jubb meets Fares Zakaria in the M15 Sharm ElSheikh final on hard court on October 4. Both players ranked outside the top 500 have reached the championship match after intense runs through the draw. Jubb sits at 451 in the rankings while Zakaria is at 544.
The two have never faced each other. Both own identical hard court records of 13-7 over their recent samples, each winning at 65%. Jubb has won four straight matches and eight of his last ten, while Zakaria also sits on a four-match winning streak with eight wins in his last ten. The pair have played common opponents with mixed results; Jubb defeated Robert Strombachs and Karan Singh lost to him, while Zakaria beat Singh but fell to Strombachs.
Jubb operates as a counterpuncher who thrives on breaking down opponents through defensive positioning and timing. Zakaria brings a more complete offensive game, comfortable playing from anywhere on the court. Jubb's task will be to control pace and dictate off the baseline without allowing Zakaria rhythm; Zakaria must take the initiative early to prevent Jubb from settling into his reactive patterns.
