Finals
ElShorbagy and Gohar Capture Black Ball Open Titles
Mohamed ElShorbagy and Nouran Gohar are the 2023 Black Ball Squash Open
champions after they achieved respective wins over Tarek Momen and Hania
El Hammamy at the Black Ball Sporting Club earlier today.
No.5 seed ElShorbagy has won the PSA World Tour Gold event for the first
time following a 14-12, 11-8, 11-7 victory over No.7 seed Momen. It’s
ElShorbagy’s fifth PSA title of the season and the Englishman has now
won 49 PSA events during his illustrious career - which puts him joint
fourth on the all-time men’s winners list, tied with the great Peter
Nicol.
ElShorbagy, who had won 22 of 27 matches against Momen coming into the
fixture, was pushed all the way by his opponent in a tense opening game
before engineering some breathing space for himself by taking the
second. Momen then squandered a 6-1 lead in the third game as the man
known as ‘The Beast’ came back to seal the win in straight games.
“We go way back and have played so many times over the years,” said
ElShorbagy afterwards.
“We’ve been great rivals, with respect. In Egypt, there have been a lot
of great champions, in the past, present and, I’m sure, in the future.
For me, Tarek is by far the most consistent and best ever Egyptian
player to have played in his 30s.
“We’ve had a great week here, there have been amazing matches in the
men’s and women’s draw. We’ve had everyone speak about the quality of
the matches and the quality of the sport. That’s what we really want as
a sport, I’m really happy that we can see that and I hope all the
players can keep playing this kind of quality and we can take it to the
next level at the next tournament and the tournament after.”
Meanwhile, Gohar has successfully retained her Black Ball Open title
following an 11-9, 8-11, 12-10, 11-5 victory over No.3 seed Hania El
Hammamy. It’s the World No.1s fourth trophy of the campaign as well as
the 21st of her career to date.
It was a closely-fought contest as it always is between these two and
Gohar captured a crucial third game on the tie-break before powering to
the win in the fourth to end a two-match losing run to El Hammamy.
“It means a lot to come back and win this,” Gohar said.
“I had to pull out of the final at the ToC and it was heartbreaking for
me. I’ve been consistent and have reached the final of every event, so I
felt I had more. This week has given me a big boost and having my family
here as well as my friends and the fans makes a big difference
“She [El Hammamy] is such a competitor and she’s very feisty. I enjoy
our matches because we bring the best out of each other, which makes it
more enjoyable when I win it at the end.”
The next stop on the PSA World Tour will be the Canary Wharf Classic,
PSA World Tour Gold event, which will take place between March 12-17 at
London’s East Wintergarden.

Semi Finals
ElShorbagy Ends Elias’s World No.1 Hopes to Reach
Maiden Black Ball Open Final
Mohamed ElShorbagy
World No.4 Mohamed ElShorbagy put in a sensational performance to topple
No.3 seed Diego Elias earlier today as he earned his spot in the final
of the Black Ball Squash Open, PSA World Tour Gold event for the first
time following a gripping five-game battle in which he overturned a
match ball.
Elias would have become the sport’s first South American World No.1 if
the Peruvian was able to win the tournament following current incumbent
Mostafa Asal’s surprise second round exit to Fares Dessouky. However, he
was outmanoeuvred tonight at the Black Ball Sporting Club by an inspired
ElShorbagy.
The Englishman - who spent 50 months at World No.1 himself between 2014
and 2021 - looked incredibly hungry on court and played at a relentless
pace as he battled back from 10-9 down in the fifth game to secure a
victory which will see him line up against 2019 PSA World Champion Tarek
Momen in the title decider.
“I was almost going to retire last season,” said ElShorbagy.
“I didn’t know what I was doing with my life or where I was, and here I
am playing my sixth final this season, and I will be going for my fifth
title. I kept backing it up and I trained really hard after last season.
England Squash has done a great job with me, they’re sending a team with
me to every tournament.
“He [Elias] is my closest friend on tour. It was so tough on court but
at the same time we were smiling at each other and playing in the right
spirit. I’m actually really sad that I’m the one that has stopped him
from having his first chance at World No.1.”
Momen will also appear in his maiden Black Ball Open final after the
35-year-old achieved a superb comeback from 2-0 down against Welshman
Joel Makin in a gruelling 76-minute contest.
The World No.9 overturned eight match balls against fellow Egyptian
Dessouky in the previous round and again showed his powers of revival.
He battled to a 7-11, 8-11, 11-7, 11-4, 11-4 victory against an
increasingly tired Makin, who already had 230 minutes of action under
his belt at this event after mammoth wins over No.4 seed Paul Coll and
No.6 seed Marwan ElShorbagy in the previous two rounds.
Tarek Momen
“Today was a great day for me coming back from 2-0 down against a
quality player like Joel,” said Momen.
“A few days before this tournament I wasn’t sure if I was going to play,
I was struggling so much. I saved eight match balls yesterday and I came
back from 2-0 down today, it’s unbelievable.”
The women’s final will be contested by World No.1 Nouran Gohar and World
No.3 Hania El Hammamy, who will meet for the third time this season,
with El Hammamy winning both of their previous meetings since September.
El Hammamy was pushed all the way by United States No.1 Amanda Sobhy in
her semi-final but stormed home to victory in a dominant fifth game to
reach the Black Ball final for the fourth time. The 22-year-old will now
look to win her second Black Ball trophy after her 2020 triumph.
“I’m not very pleased with the way I played but I’m definitely happy to
be able to fight and get through it even when it wasn’t my best day,” El
Hammamy said.
Hania El Hammamy
“All credit to her, she’s been playing really well all week and I think
she was really good tactically as well, so I had to adapt in each game.
In every game I was trying to do something different because she was
throwing everything at me. It’s always a tough match against Nouran.
She’s the World No.1 and is very experienced. I need to be ready and
focused for tomorrow.”
Defending champion Gohar overcame New Zealand’s No.4 seed Joelle King in
the opening match of the day, completing an 11-5, 10-12, 11-8, 11-4 win
in 54 minutes to reach her sixth final of the season.
“Joelle played very well and I knew it wasn’t going to be easy,” Gohar
said.
Nouran Gohar
“I’m very happy with the way I managed the game and changed some stuff
during the match. Having the crowd here and having the coaching back in
general is very helpful. Having your coach travelling with you and
helping you out gives you a big boost. Rod [Martin] is one of the best
in the game.”
The finals of the Black Ball Squash Open will take place tomorrow (March
7). Play begins at 19:00 (GMT+2) and matches will be streamed live on
SQUASHTV.
as well on the channels of PSA’s broadcast partners.

Quarter Finals
Sobhy and ElShorbagy Send No.2 Seeds Out in Quarter
finals
Amanda Sobhy
USA’s Amanda Sobhy and England’s Mohamed ElShorbagy sent the No.2 seeds
out of the Black Ball Squash Open at the quarter-finals stage after they
scored respective wins over Egyptian duo Nour El Sherbini and Ali Farag
at the Black Ball Sporting Club earlier today.
Coming into today’s match, Sobhy’s last win against six-time World
Champion El Sherbini came back at the 2020 edition of this tournament
when she prevailed in a gripping five-game battle, while the pair also
met in the final of the 2021 instalment, with El Sherbini getting the
win on that occasion.
This time around, Sobhy was able to vanquish the World No.2 after coming
back from 2-1 down to secure a 9-11, 13-11, 10-12, 11-6, 11-8 victory
which will see her line up in the semi-finals of a PSA Tour event for
the first time in 2023.
“I’m at a loss right now,” said World No.5 Sobhy after the match.
“I felt like I had a good chance, she beat me at the ToC but I had
patches where I played really well. It was more about staying positive
and being able to play that way from start to finish. I did that
tonight, which I’m proud of.
“Last time I beat her was here in December 2020 and I won it on a
stroke. I know you want a good ending, but I’ll take what I can get and
I’m really happy to be able to redeem myself and play the squash that I
know that I’m capable of.”
Sobhy’s opponent in the last four will be 2020 Black Ball champion Hania
El Hammamy, who overcame Belgium’s World No.13 Tinne Gilis by an 11-3,
4-11, 11-7, 11-4 scoreline in 40 minutes.
Tomorrow will be Sobhy and World No.3 El Hammamy’s first match on the
PSA Tour since the quarter-finals of the 2020-21 PSA World
Championships, with Sobhy winning 3-0 on that occasion. However, it’s El
Hammamy who has generally had the measure of the American, with four
wins to Sobhy’s three.
“We [El Hammamy and Gilis] both like to get the ball back and it’s
always physical,” said El Hammamy.
Hania El Hammamy
“We gave it our all today and I’m definitely pleased with the way I was
able to change my game plan and find a way after she got the second. I
feel with every round I’m improving and finding the right balance and
right shots on court. Every court is different and Black Ball is such a
bouncy court.”
World No.1 and defending champion Nouran Gohar also earned her place in
the semi-finals after getting the better of No.7 seed Sarah-Jane Perry
in four games, and her opponent will be New Zealand’s No.4 seed Joelle
King, who dispatched No.8 seed Georgina Kennedy 3-0.
Meanwhile, ElShorbagy and Farag were meeting for the 26th time on the
PSA Tour, with ElShorbagy narrowly edging the head-to-head record with
13 wins to Farag’s 12 ahead of today’s encounter.
Farag is playing only his second tournament since returning from a
four-month knee injury layoff and he couldn’t match the ferocity of
ElShorbagy’s hitting today. A dominant ElShorbagy – known on tour as
‘The Beast’ – stormed to an 11-7, 11-3, 16-14 win to end a run of four
straight defeats to the World No.3, which included the previous two PSA
Men’s World Championship finals.
“I told Ali at the end of the match that I need him back because I’m
back,” said ElShorbagy.
Mohamed ElShorbagy
“Last season I was not there at all, I didn’t play a good season while
he did. We’re the two biggest rivals on tour right now, we’re the two
biggest names on tour right now. We’ve played each other at the highest
level, we’ve played in each venue in each final and it’s always good to
go on court with him even if he’s not 100 per cent.”
The former World No.1 will contest a mouthwatering semi-final fixture
with No.3 seed Diego Elias. Elias – who shook off the challenge of No.8
seed Mazen Hesham – will become the first South American World No.1 if
he wins the tournament, and the Peruvian beat ElShorbagy in December’s
Hong Kong Open.
ElShorbagy’s younger brother – 2021 Black Ball champion Marwan – saw his
tournament come to an end after losing out to Welshman Joel Makin
following a gripping 93-minute contest. Makin won 14-12, 7-11, 9-11,
11-8, 11-8 to reach the semi-finals of this event for the second time.
“I’m in a good place,” Makin said.
Joel Makin
“When I’m like that physically I can push and I can get through these
top guys. If I can get those straight drops in and work it in well then
I can cause problems for them no matter how well they’re playing.”
Makin’s semi-final opponent, former World Champion Tarek Momen, also had
a brutal quarter-final match, requiring 89 minutes to finally get the
better of 2020 champion Fares Dessouky.
The semi-finals of the Black Ball Squash Open will take place tomorrow
(March 6). Play begins at 17:30 (GMT+2) and matches will be streamed
live on
SQUASHTV.

Round 2 Bottom Half
ElShorbagy Halts Gawad’s Comeback to Reach Black Ball
Open Quarters
Mohamed ElShorbagy
England’s World No.5 Mohamed ElShorbagy made it seven successive wins
against the returning Karim Abdel Gawad to earn his place in the last
eight of the Black Ball Squash Open, PSA World Tour Gold event after a
nail-biting five-game battle in Cairo, Egypt.
ElShorbagy will now play World No.3 Ali Farag in a repeat of the last
two PSA Men’s World Championship finals.
“I’m very happy to get through, Gawad has been out for a very long
time,” said ElShorbagy.
“I’ve played Gawad all my life and the worst time to play him is when
he’s not feeling as fit as he’d like to be because that’s when he goes
for it. I hate that because he’s super talented and you know you’re
going to have to do a lot of work when you play him. It’s amazing to see
him back on tour and playing well, he definitely took it up another
level compared to his first match.
“It’s to be expected, he’s going to get better every day and every
tournament. It’s good to have him back, but I’m glad to get through.”
Meanwhile, Women’s No.6 seed Rowan Elaraby saw her tournament come to an
end at the hands of unseeded Belgian Tinne Gilis. Elaraby was forced to
concede the match at 10-10 in the fourth game due to illness.
The quarter-finals of the Black Ball Squash Open will take place
tomorrow (March 5). Play begins at 12:00 (GMT+2) and matches will be
streamed live on

Round 2 Top Half
Dessouky Sends World No.1 Asal Crashing Out in RD2 of
Black Ball Open
Fares Dessouky (right)
2020 Black Ball Squash Open champion Fares Dessouky caused a major shock
at the 2023 edition of the PSA World Tour Gold tournament today as he
sent World No.1 Mostafa Asal crashing out in round two.
Asal's defeat means that Peru's Diego Elias - currently ranked at No.2
in the PSA Men's World Rankings - will have the opportunity to become
the sport's first South American World No.1 if he can win the event.
“I’m very happy to win the match, every time I play Mostafa it’s very
tough but today I played my best squash,” said Dessouky after beating
the No.1 seed.
“He’s the World No.1, he’s so talented, but the last couple of times we
played each other he was very dodgy in terms of his movements. Today was
the first time we played a clean match since Canary Wharf. Every time
after the match he talks badly about me but today I’m not going to do
the same.
“He deserves everyone to respect him on court because he’s the World
No.1, but it’s unacceptable that every time he talks about players in a
bad way. Hopefully that will stop very soon.”
The women’s defending champion - World No.1 Nouran Gohar - completed a
comfortable 3-0 victory against USA’s Sabrina Sobhy. The 25-year-old
will go up against England’s No.7 seed Sarah-Jane Perry in the last
eight.
The second round of the Black Ball Squash Open continues tomorrow (March
4). Play begins at 12:00 (GMT+2) and matches will be streamed live on

Round 1
Wildcard Azzam Upsets Mueller on Opening Day of Black
Ball Open
17-year-old wildcard Omar Azzam marked his PSA World Tour debut with a
superb victory over World No.14 Nicolas Mueller as the Gold-level Black
Ball Squash Open got under way today in Cairo, Egypt.
“I’ve been dreaming of this match since I was a little kid,” said Azzam,
who will play 2019-20 World Champion Tarek Momen in the next round.
“It’s a great thing to share a court with a tough player like Nicolas.
He’s such a good player and I’ll remember this day until I die, I can’t
believe it.
“I told myself to give it my all. I’ve been training my shots for the
past year with my coach, Ahmed Eiffat. All of the hard work came out, so
I’m really happy with my performance and I’m looking forward to the next
match.”
In the women’s draw, World No.19 Nada Abbas required a sensational
comeback to advance to the second round, overturning a 2-0 deficit
against fellow Egyptian Mariam Metwally earlier this evening. Abbas will
play No.4 seed Joelle King in the next round.
The Black Ball Squash Open continues tomorrow when top seeds Mostafa
Asal and Nouran Gohar get their title challenges under way. Play begins
at 12:00 (GMT+2) and matches will be streamed live on

Preview
Former World No.1 Gawad Set to Return at Black Ball Open
Former World No.1 and World Champion Karim Abdel Gawad will make his
return to the sport following a 10-month spell on the sidelines when
he lines up at the Black Ball Squash Open between March 2-7.
Gawad has been receiving treatment on a foot injury which has
affected him since September 2020 and since then has fallen from
No.3 in the world to his current ranking of No.19.
The 31-year-old - popular with fans for his incredible touch and
world-class shot-making abilities - will make his comeback with a
first round fixture against Frenchman Auguste Dussourd, with the
winner set to face No.5 seed Mohamed ElShorbagy in the last 16 at
the Black Ball Sporting Club.
Current World No.1 Mostafa Asal is seeded first for the tournament
and will take on either Fares Dessouky or Raphael Kandra in round
two after receiving a bye in round one. Asal is seeded to face
former World No.1 Paul Coll in the semi-finals.
The other half of the draw could feature ElShorbagy and World No.2
Ali Farag in a blockbuster quarter-final battle, with the winner of
that fixture predicted to play the in-form Peruvian Diego Elias in
the last four.
Reigning champion Nouran Gohar heads up the women’s draw, with the
World No.1 facing either USA’s Sabrina Sobhy or wildcard Lauren
Baltayan in the second round. From there, Gohar is seeded to play
England’s Sarah-Jane Perry in the quarter-finals and New Zealand’s
Joelle King in the semis.
No.2 seed Nour El Sherbini - who has won two titles at the Black
Ball Sporting Club previously - is seeded to play World No.5 Amanda
Sobhy in the quarter-finals and World No.3 Hania El Hammamy in the
last four in a repeat of the 2021 Black Ball Squash Open final.
The Black Ball Squash Open will offer a $220,000 prize purse split
equally across the men’s and women’s draws. The event will go ahead
as a PSA World Tour Gold tournament following the dip in value of
the Egyptian pound, which has resulted in the classification of the
event changing from a Platinum event to a Gold one.
