January - WOMEN'S PLAYER OF THE MONTH
Sedky wins Squash Player’s Player of the Month
award
Teenage
amateur Reeham Sedky has been named Squash Player’s Female Player of
the Month for January for her astonishing performances in the World
Women’s Team Championship in December, her senior USA debut.
The 19-year-old University of Pennsylvania student took England’s
world no.11, Sarah-Jane Perry, to five games in the pool stages
before helping the USA to fifth place in Paris with a stunning 3/2
win over Malaysia’s world no.17, Delia Arnold.
“I think my win against Delia was my best career win over the 10
years I have been playing squash,” said Sedky after her first major
competitive match on a glass court.
“Going into the match with a very relaxed mindset really helped and
I knew that I wasn’t only doing this for myself, but for Team USA as
well. Clinching that five-setter victory left me speechless and
exuberant at the same time.”
Sedky, a semi-finalist in last year’s US Nationals, intends to start
playing some PSA tournaments over the summer and “seeing where I go
from there”.
“My aim is to continue enjoying what I am doing on court and the
different countries that I travel to,” she added.
