Wall reached the last 32 of the tournament for the second successive year by beating the Frenchman.

A fortnight ago, Courin had beaten world number one Paul Coll of New Zealand at the Canary Wharf Classic.

However, the French player was not able to withstand pressure from Wall, who sealed the victory in 62 minutes.

"It feels amazing, it’s definitely my biggest win on the PSA Tour so far," Wall said after the match.

"Victor is such a great player; he is so solid, and he doesn’t give you anything.

"I really just had to take my chances when I got them.

"When the opening came, I was really making sure that I was going to do something with the ball and not being passive.

"I think I dropped off after the first game because I tried to go out as hard as I could in the first, and really try to take the pace, so I dropped off naturally with my movement.

"Then I seemed to tweak my hamstring in the front corner, and then I slipped at the back which exaggerated it.

"Hopefully, I can do everything I can tonight, and my aim is to be back tomorrow and to show what I can do again."

Wall is set to face 2021 runner-up Ali Farag of Egypt in the next round

England’s Patrick Rooney will join Wall in the last 32 after his 11-7, 12-10, 8-11, 11-8 victory over compatriot Declan James.

Meanwhile, Canada’s Danielle Letourneau came back from a 2-0 deficit to beat wildcard Katie Malliff of England 9-11, 6-11, 11-4, 11-9, 11-8.

However, Englishwoman Lucy Turmel eased past Egypt’s Sana Ibrahim 11-8, 13-11, 11-3 to set up a mouth-watering fixture against Joelle King of New Zeland.

Elsewhere, 45-year-old Australian Rachael Grinham, who was making her 23rd appearance at the tournament went down to Milou van der Heijden of the Netherlands 5-11, 11-9, 11-6, 11-7.
