Younousse and Tijan qualify to round of 16

Hangzhou: Qatar's beach volleyball duo of Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan qualified to the Round of 16 of the 19th Asian Games Hangzhou after defeating the Philippines 2-0 on Friday.

2018 gold medallists and top favorites Younousse  and  Tijan crushed  the  Philippines Alnakran Abdilla and Jaron  Requinton  21-9,  21-7  in  their last Group B match yesterday  and sealed their place in the  last  16.

The top  seeds  had  little trouble in getting past their opponents and look in fine form to  defend  their  gold.  Qatar’s  second  pair  Mahmoud  Essam  and Abdullah Naseem had on Thursday booked their place in the round of 16
