PSA SAYS: THE CONTENDERS
Nour El Sherbini
World No.1 and reigning World Champion Nour ElSherbini has made the World Championships her own over the past several years, reaching the final of the last eight World Championships, winning seven. The 28-year-old is a formidable force when these championships come around each year and will be hoping to draw level with Malaysian squash legend Nicol David on eight titles and with the more favourable draw of the ‘top three’, another World’s final could be coming up for ‘The Warrior Princess’.
Nouran Gohar
Three-time runner-up Nouran Gohar hopes this is the year for her as she looks to claim a maiden World title on home soil. ‘The Terminator’ has found her top form in recent months after returning from an injury that sidelined her for a large chunk of the season. She recently claimed a big win over Nour ElSherbini at the El Gouna International to claim the title. That win made it successive wins on the PSA World Tour for Gohar, giving her huge confidence ahead of the biggest event on the calendar.
Hania El Hammamy
World No.3 Hania El Hammamy is yet to get past the semi-final stage at a World Championships, losing out to ElSherbini in 2019 and Gohar last year. The latter would have left a sizeable scar after holding match balls in the match and being unable to convert. A repeat of that semi-final is seeded to take place in this year’s event and there is no doubt that the fierce rivalry between the two will ignite once again if El Hammamy and Gohar face each other again.
Ali Farag
Much like compatriot Nour ElSherbini, Ali Farag has made the World Championships his own in recent years, winning the last three titles to move to four World titles, level with Egyptian icon Amr Shabana.
Farag is currently on a 26-match winning streak at the championships and will be determined to make that 32 matches and move to outright third in the all-time men’s World Champions list.
The signs look good for the World No.1, who has made the final in 16 of his last 17 events on the PSA World Tour, a staggering achievement for the Egyptian.
Mostafa Asal
Last year’s top seed, Mostafa Asal, fell at the semi-final stage in the 2023 event, losing out to eventual winner Ali Farag in four games. The 22-year-old is a 3/4 seed this time around and after a slightly flat start to the season, has regathered his form just at the right time.
Asal has reached the final of his last three events, losing out to Coll at the London Classic and Farag in the El Gouna International, with a win over the World No.1 at the Black Ball Open sandwiched in between. ‘The Raging Bull’s’ work with former World No.1 James Willstrop looks to have settled in, as the calm, measured approach from the Egyptian makes for a dangerous outfit heading into a home World Championships.
Karim Abdel Gawad
It’s been eight years since Karim Abdel Gawad claimed his only World title, a career-highlighting moment for the Egyptian. Reaching last year’s final was another incredible moment for Gawad and one that we’re sure he’d love to recreate. Gawad has climbed back to World No.5 this season after missing most of the 2022/23 season with injury by claiming three tiles and reaching four other semi-finals and fully deserves to be there. ‘The Baby-Faced Assassin’ is regarded as one of the most skilful players on tour, capable of beating anyone on his day. He must bring his A+ game to claim a second World Championship title.
