Qatar's Cherif and Ahmed in Pro Tour semis in China
Qatar's top beach volleyball pair Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan powered into the semi-finals of the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour Xiamen Challenge in China after securing two impressive wins on Saturday. Returning to the circuit for the first time since earning bronze at December's 2024 Tour Finals in Doha, the Olympic bronze winners opened their campaign with a Round-of-16 win over Austria's Christoph Dressler and Philipp Waller (21-15, 27-25). They maintained the momentum in the quarter-finals, dispatching Switzerland's Adrian Heidrich and Jonathan Jordan 21-15, 21-17 to advance and set up a semi-final against Norwegian brothers Markus and Adrian Mol.
