Tarek Momen:
Really proud of her!!!!
You see in any sport thousands of young kids share just one dream of becoming the best in their field, and only very few succeed in fulfilling that dream. It takes courage, determination, perseverance, and most importantly talent to be the best in the world.
Raneem possesses all these qualities, and today she made us all proud not only by becoming the new World Number One, ending an impressive run of 9 consecutive years by a true legend that is Nicol David, but also by becoming the 1st Egyptian woman ever to do it.
I really can’t describe how proud I am of her, I can’t wait to see her maintain a firm grip over that position for as long as she could, and hopefully topping that up with a World Open title soon
