Defending champion Ali Farag and world number five Paul Coll will lock horns in tomorrow’s Professional Squash Association (PSA) Qatar Classic final after prevailing in straight games in the semi-finals.

World number one Farag of Egypt was at his accurate best to beat compatriot Tarek Momen 11-9, 11-2, 11-4 in a little more than half an hour at the Khalifa International and Squash Complex in Doha.

There was no sign of fatigue from Coll following two mammoth five-game battles as he swept aside Egypt’s Fares Dessouky with a dominant 11-9, 11-0, 11-0 victory at the PSA World Tour Platinum tournament.

Coll of New Zealand will now meet Farag in a repeat of this year's Windy City Open final, where the Egyptian came from two games down to clinch the title.

It will also be the second time Coll has been in a final in Qatar after his run at last year’s World Championships, losing to Momen on that occasion.

"I thought I was hitting my targets brilliantly today," said the 28-year-old, who is also a Commonwealth Games silver medallist.

"I really closed the court down.

"I just tried to be super accurate and really get him stuck in the back corners.

"If you hit your length on this court, then you really get rewarded.

"I’ve had two great years in Qatar in a row now, so hopefully I can go one further tomorrow.

"I’ve got my work cut out, but I felt really good out there today and I’m really looking forward to tomorrow."

Farag remains on course to defend his crown and was in fine form against Momen today.

But the 28-year-old admitted facing Coll was a "scary" proposition.

"The first game was crucial," said Farag when reflecting on his semi-final victory.

"It started off a little too erratic which I think favours him more than me.

"I just tried to execute my game plan better by the end of the first game. 

"Even if you don’t win it at least you go into the second with momentum.

"I did win it and I think that made a big psychological difference.

"Paul is very fit, so when he is fresher it’s even more scary.

"I will try to execute my game plan better and if I can, I will give myself a chance.

"It will be a tough one, he has made two back-to-back finals in Qatar now, so he seems to like it.

"It’s always a pleasure to play against him, he is such a warrior and competitor but in the right spirit of the game, so I’m really looking forward to it."
