Nonostante la vasta partecipazione di giocatrici provenienti da tutto il mondo, saranno proprio le prime quattro atlete del ranking mondiale a giocarsi il titolo iridato, essendosi qualificate per le semifinali in programma questa sera. Nella parte alta del tabellone, la padrona di casa Nour El Sherbini sta facendo valere il suo ruolo di favorita: testa di serie numero uno e campionessa in carica, l’egiziana ha sconfitto per 3­0 (11­6, 11­3, 12­ 10) l’inglese Sarah­Jane Perry, ed affronterà in semifinale la connazionale Nouran Gohar, che invece ha eliminato la malese Nicol David, otto volte campionessa mondiale, sempre con il punteggio di 3­0 (11­6, 11­5, 11­9). L’Egitto potrà contare su ben tre semifinaliste, visto che nella parte bassa del tabellone si è qualificata anche Raneem El Weleily, già finalista nel 2014, che ha sconfitto la forte inglese Laura Massaro, argento nel 2015 e vincitrice nel 2013, per 3­1 (8­11, 11­8, 12­10, 11­6). L’unica ad opporsi allo strapotere del Paese http://www.oasport.it/2017/04/squash­mondiali­femminili­le­migliori­quattro­giocatrici­del­mondo­si­giocano­il­titolo/ 1/2 13/4/2017 Squash, Mondiali femminili: le migliori quattro giocatrici del mondo si giocano il titolo – OA Sport nordafricano è dunque la francese Camille Serme, che invece si è imposta per 3­2 sull’indiana Joshna Chinappa (11­6, 10­12, 11­7, 8­11, 11­3). Serme punta a diventare la prima francese campionessa mondiale al femminile, ma dovrà sconfiggere l’armata egiziana per raggiungere l’obiettivo. In contemporanea con il torneo iridato femminile, si sta svolgendo anche l’El Gouna International Open, uno dei tornei più importanti delle World Series maschili. Anche in questo caso abbiamo ben tre egiziani in semifinale: Fares Dessouky giocherà infatti contro il connazionale Karim Abdel Gawad, mentre Marwan El Shorbagy, vincitore ai quarti sul fratello maggiore Mohamed, se la vedrà con il francese Grégory Gaultier, accreditato della terza testa di serie ma in realtà nuovo numero uno del ranking mondiale nel mese di aprile.

    WORLD SQUASH UPDATE Issue 83 November / December 2019 FOR ALL WSF REGIONAL & NATIONAL FEDERATIONS cc: WSF Regional Presidents, WSF Commission Members, Stakeholders, PSA members, SPINs, Media, Accredited Products and Companies CAPE TOWN HOSTS SUCCESSFUL AGM The World Squash Federation Annual General Meeting took place on 6 November in Cape Town, South Africa, hosted by Squash South Africa. The WSF Conference, which preceded the AGM, facilitated informal discussions and featured presentations to update the delegates on key initiatives - including the World Squash Officiating, a joint enterprise between the WSF and Professional Squash Association (PSA) to develop an online platform that will provide National Federations with the tools to develop refereeing in their country. The new initiative is scheduled to go live before the end of the year. Additionally James Sandwith, from BEBRAND, presented the findings of a strategic review commissioned by WSF, with the report now available for all member nations to appraise. The 49th Annual General Meeting, attended by representatives of 24 National Federations, saw delegates agree an amendment to the Articles of Association to reduce the risk of inappropriate leadership behavior and to ensure that delegates in attendance at an AGM have a formal connection with their National Federations. There were no changes to the standard Rules of Squash. However, the Rules of Squash 57 were updated, adding an extra ball rebound resilience at 33 degrees C that will help to ensure that the differential between blue and black balls - and their range of bounce - will be more uniform across the brands that are WSF-approved. The WSF Championship Regulations were updated with respect to player eligibility, the use of random draws and a new timeline and procedure for seeding juniors.

Dopo l’imprevedibile eliminazione dell’egiziano Karim Abdel Gawad (n.5 del ranking mondiale) nel primo turno, la seconda giornata di gare non ha riservato grandi sorprese. La sfida più attesa in campo femminile era lo scontro tra le statunitensi Amanda Sobhy (testa di serie n.11) e Olivia Blatchford Clyne, con la prima che ha avuto la meglio in rimonta con il punteggio di 3-1. Negli ottavi di finale la beniamina del pubblico di casa affronterà l’egiziana Nour El Sherbini, n.2 del tabellone e due volte campionessa iridata, che ha dimostrato una condizione eccellente liberandosi dell’australiana Christine Nunn con un netto 3-0. La detentrice del titolo, l’egiziana Raneem El Welily, ha sconfitto la connazionale Hania El Hammamy e se la vedrà con l’inglese Alison Waters (n.9) per un posto nei quarti di finale.

In campo maschile l’egiziano Mohamed ElShorbagy ha superato il messicano Cesar Salazar con il risultato di 3- 1 e continua la propria difesa del titolo.

    WSF INSTANT UPDATE ISSUE 68 MAY/JUNE 2017 To: ALL WSF MEMBER NATIONAL FEDERATIONS cc: WSF Regional Vice-Presidents, WSF Commssion Members, PSA members, Accredited Products and Companies EL SHERBINI RETAINS WOMEN’S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE Egypt’s first ever female squash World Champion Nour El Sherbini successfully defended her Women’s World Championship title after defeating compatriot Raneem El Welily to take the honours in El Gouna, Egypt. Held at the New Marina against the backdrop of Egypt’s Red Sea, El Sherbini - who defeated Laura Massaro 12 months ago to become the youngest Women’s World Champion of all time - was in spell-binding form to dispatch a slightly nervy El Welily, who was appearing in her second World Championship final. The 21-year-old never allowed fellow Alexandrian El Welily to get into her game, with El Sherbini closing the win out 3/0 to etch her name into the history books once more. El Sherbini’s victory brought a six-month title drought to an end with her first major title since she lifted her first World Championship title in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia a year ago. "I'm over the moon, two or three months ago I wouldn't have imagined that I would have won because I haven't won a [major] title this season," said El Sherbini. "It felt like I wasn't going to win this season anymore, but once I knew that it was going to be in Egypt, I was so excited and wanted to come to play in El Gouna.
