Claiming major scalps earlier in the tournament with mighty performances against the likes of Nigeria’s Quadri Aruna and another British hopeful in Paul Drinkhall, 18-year-old Sidorenko has shown he is more than capable of competing with the world elite in the Qatari capital.

Man of the moment, the player to cause the major upset was Lubomir Jancarik, the no.30 seed.
