Lee was fresh off the back of reaching a maiden World Series semi-final last week on home soil at the Hong Kong Open and looked to have maintained his fine form after taking a one-game lead on the tie-break.

But Mohamed battled back and a virtuoso display from the 24-year-old saw him take the next three games without reply to record a superb 10-12, 11-6, 11-9, 11-7 triumph and set up a first round clash with World No.7 Mathieu Castagnet.

Peru’s Diego Elias was also in action in the final round of qualifying and the World No. 34 dispatched Leo Au in straight games to ensure that he will take on world champion Gregory Gaultier in what looks set to be a keenly-contested main draw fixture.

There were also wins for Egypt’s Mohamed Abouelghar and Mexico’s Cesar Salazar, with the pair beating Paul Coll and Nafiizwan Adnan, respectively, both by a 3-2 margin. Abouelghar’s reward is a main draw match-up with Hong Kong Open runner-up Karim Abdel Gawad, while Salazar will go head-to-head with World No.10 Tarek Momen.

The Women’s event saw top qualifying seed Dipika Pallikal Karthik overcome United States No.2 Olivia Blatchford in four games, while Hong Kong’s Joey Chan will join Pallikal Karthik in the main draw of the PSA W70 tournament after she defeated Malaysia’s Low Wee Wern.

Hong Kong Open winner Nouran Gohar lies in wait for World No. 19 Pallikal Karthik in the opening round of the main draw, with Chan set to face off against No. 1 seed Laura Massaro.

Egyptian pair Heba El Torky and Salma Hany Ibrahim were the other final qualifying round victors and have respective matches against Indian No.1 Joshna Chinappa and Hong Kong’s Annie Au in store.
