Egypt defeat USA in thriller to retain WSF Women's
World Team Championship
Egypt defended their WSF Women's World Team Championship as a
star-studded lineup overpowered maiden finalists USA in front of a
sellout crowd at the Madinaty Sporting Club, Cairo.
The hosts, represented by World No.1 Nouran Gohar, World No.2 Nour El
Sherbini, World No.3 Hania El Hammamy and World No.6 Nour El Tayeb had
reached their sixth final without dropping a match, with Gohar's 3-1 win
over Aifa Azman in yesterday's semi-final representing the only game
lost by the top seeds.
The USA, represented by World No.5 Amanda Sobhy, World No.10 Olivia
Fiechter, World No.15 - and younger sister to Amanda - Sabrina Sobhy,
and World No.20 Olivia Clyne came into tonight's tie having already made
history by reaching the final, with fifth being the No.2 seeds' previous
highest finish.
In a thrilling opening match, the best contest of the tournament, Gohar
was pushed to the very brink by Sobhy.
The World No.1 had looked in complete control when she took a 7-0 lead
in the first game, only for Sobhy to dig in brilliantly.
In front of a raucous crowd, Sobhy began to pull points back. Although
it was too late to rescue the first game, which Gohar took 11-7, the
American levelled the scores with a well-deserved 11-5 win in the
second.
The 29-year-old then took a hard-fought and feisty third game 12-10,
putting Egypt behind for the first time in the tournament.
Now, though, it was Gohar's turn to show her mettle. After falling
behind in the fourth game, 'the Terminator' saved two match balls to
level the tie with a 13-11 win.
Roared on by 1,500 fans and with her opponent beginning to wilt, Gohar
pressed her advantage in the decider, firing past Sobhy time and again
to hand Egypt a crucial one-match lead with an 11-8 victory.
In the second match of the tie, El Sherbini quickly snuffed out any
hopes of a repeat of the tension that had accompanied the first tie.
The 'Warrior Princess', the defending individual as well as team world
champion, wasted no time in going after Fiechter, with the American
going down 11-3, 11-4, 11-5 in 21 minutes to deliver a fifth title for
Egypt.
"If this match hadn't been played in Egypt, I don't think I'd have done
it," Gohar said afterwards.
"The comeback was purely because of the crowd. A big thank you to them
and all my teammates, they're the best, honestly. They're the best in
the world."
El Sherbini added: "I was very nervous and tense [watching Gohar's
match]. I couldn't warm up because I was just there watching. It was
very hard to come on court after her match!"
Engy Kheirallah
Egypt Coach Engy Kheirallah said: "Winning the title at home feels
amazing.
"I kept telling Nouran 'You are a champion, you've been through much
worse. You can do it and we're all backing you."
USA Coach Ong Beng Hee reflected: "We are very proud of the girls, with
the way they have been all week, close together, pushing in the same
direction and playing as a team. It was a fantastic performance."
At the prize ceremony, bronze medals were given to England and Malaysia,
while awards were also given out to recognise a number of outstanding
achievements.
Japan's Satomi Watanabe, who won all six of her matches, was awarded
Most Valuable Player. South Africa, who beat their predicted finish of
12th by three places, were awarded Team of the Championship.
Speaking at the closing ceremony, WSF President Zena Wooldridge, OBE,
said: “This Women’s World Team Championships concludes a really
outstanding year of squash events in the post-COVID era.
"This is the first Women’s World Teams we’ve had for four years, so it’s
great to see everyone back. The Women’s World Team Championship is
always a special event, and I think it’s something the players really
enjoy; they don’t get to play team events too often. You can tell the
dynamic, the atmosphere and the experience is really fantastic for the
teams.
“Here today, we’ve had two nations fielding the strongest women’s teams
that they’ve ever had and it’s produced some really world-class squash.
We also see a representation of the universality of squash; we have four
teams from four different continents on the podium this evening."
Wooldridge added her gratitude to the Egyptian Squash Federation and
venue owners Talaat Moustafa Group for hosting a spectacular
championship and final, and to the refereeing team, which was
represented evenly by male and female referees for the first time in
tournament history. |
Day 6
USA to face Egypt after downing England to reach first
World Team Championship final
USA Huddle
USA will take on top seeds and defending champions Egypt for the WSF
Women's World Team Championship title after making history by beating
England to reach their first ever final.
No.2 seeds USA, who had never before beaten England at the World Team
Championship, went in as favourites to reach the final and impressed
yesterday when whey ended a run of three consecutive fifth-place
finishes by beating Canada in the quarter-final.
The confidence in the USA team only grew when it was announced that
England No.1 Sarah-Jane Perry was carrying a knock and would be unable
to compete.
In the opening match, quick-footed World No.15 Sabrina Sobhy gave her
team the advantage as she safely navigated past World No.49 Julianne
Courtice 11-5, 11-5, 11-3 in 25 minutes.
In an entertaining second match, USA's World No.5 Amanda Sobhy - the
older sister of Sabrina - took on World No.22 Jasmine Hutton.
In yesterday's quarter-final, Hutton was praised for putting in what
England Coach David Campion called a "career-best performance" as she
came in for the third match to rescue England against France by downing
former World No.2 Camille Serme.
Hutton again looked threatening today and she deservedly took the first
game 12-10 after accurate play at the front of the court.
Sobhy responded well in the second game and opened up a 10-7 lead but
was reeled in by Hutton, who pulled the scores back to 10-10.
The Englishwoman, however, was unable keep up the momentum and Sobhy
eventually drew level with a 13-11 win.
From here, the American pushed on as her attacking instincts came to the
fore. Buoyed by the morale-boosting game two win, Sobhy took the third
game 11-7 and then coasted home with an 11-2 win in the fourth to send
USA into the final for the first time.

Amanda Sobhy
Afterwards, Amanda Sobhy said: "Relief and excitement [are the main
emotions felt afterwards].
"We're proud of what we did, proud for our country, for the team and for
each other."
US Coach Ong Beng Hee added: "We felt the pressure. With Amanda having a
hard match yesterday, we were not sure about her condition, but today,
she showed up."
While USA will back themselves in tomorrow's final, they will no doubt
have taken note of the continued devastating form of hosts Egypt, who
blew past Malaysia to reach their third consecutive final.
The top seeds have assembled one of the all-time great teams for this
year's championship, with World No.1 Nouran Gohar, World No.2 Nour El
Sherbini, World No.3 Hania El Hammamy and World No.6 Nour El Tayeb all
established giants of the game.
Up first tonight for the reigning champions was El Hammamy, who wasted
no time in getting stuck into Malaysia's World No.75 Yiwen Chan.
While Chan battled hard, she could do little to prevent the 22-year-old
from giving the top seeds a one match lead after a defeat in straight
games.
World No.31 Aifa Azman was able to offer more resistance, with the
20-year-old taking a game from Gohar - the first Egypt had dropped all
tournament - but eventually fell to the World No.1's relentless power
and pace as 'the Terminator' ended the tie with a 3-1 victory.
Afterwards, Egypt Coach Engy Kheirallah said: "Aifa's game is a bit
unorthodox and difficult to read, so you need to be on your toes and
alert. And sometimes you wake up and it’s not your day.
“But at the end of the day, that’s what makes [Gohar] World No.1. Even
when she is not at her best and not 100 percent, she still delivers. And
that’s what makes top players special.”

Day 5
USA reach maiden semi-final as they join England,
Egypt and Malaysia in last four
Team USA made history as they overcame rivals Canada to reach the
semi-finals of the WSF Women’s World Team Championship for the first
time.
_small.jpg)
Amanda Sobhy
The No.2 seeds, who have finished fifth at the last three tournaments,
had impressed in comfortable pool stage victories over wins over
Australia, Germany and 7/8 seeds Scotland, but were pushed to the limit
in the opening match tonight, which pitted USA’s World No.5 Amanda Sobhy
against Canada’s World No.17 Hollie Naughton.
Canada No.1 Naughton came flying out of the traps as she took the game
to the US No.1 Sobhy, before the American began to feel her way into an
entertaining and even match.
With a 10-2 lead in the fifth game, Sobhy looked nailed on to give her
team a one-match lead, only for Naughton to miraculously save every
match ball. The Canadian had a chance to win it with a match ball of her
own at 12-11, but Sobhy dug in well and eventually took the opener for
USA with a 14-12 win.
Following Amanda was younger sister Sabrina Sobhy, who was able to put
the tie to bed without drama as she beat Nikole Todd 11-5, 11-6, 11-1 in
20 minutes, with Olivia Fiechter putting the icing on the cake with a
2-0 win in the best-of-three rubber against Nicole Bunyan.
USA coach Ong Beng Hee said afterwards: “I think we were under a bit of
pressure, it was obviously a big day for us, particularly as we’d never
made a semi-finals and that was at the back of our mind."
USA's opponents tomorrow will be England, with the seven-time champions
playing the most dramatic tie of the day as they came from behind to
beat No.4 seeds France.
The No.3 seeds were staring down the barrel of an early exit when No.1
Sarah-Jane Perry lost 3-1 to Melissa Alves, before Lucy Turmel dragged
England level with a 9-11, 11-6, 11-6, 11-3 win against Coline Aumard.

Jasmine Hutton (arm raised) & Team England
In the decisive third match, Jasmine Hutton put in a masterful
performance as she completely outplayed former World No.2 Camille Serme
to record a 3-0 victory in just 24 minutes.
"That was an unbelievable performance from Jazz, on many levels. To come
in under pressure and know that it's on her; that's the best she's ever
played, by a country mile," England coach David Campion said.
In the top half of the draw, defending champions Egypt and 2014 runners
up Malaysia will meet after they overcame 7/8 seeds Scotland and 5/6
seeds Hong Kong, respectively.
Malaysia started well against the side that pipped them to the Asian
Team Championship last month when Aifa Azman put in her best performance
of the tournament so far to beat Sin Yuk Chan 3-1.
In an uneven second match, Yiwen Chan delivered the tie for Malaysia
with an 11-1, 7-11, 11-0, 10-12, 11-6 win, with Rachel Arnold adding the
extras with a 2-1 victory over Ka Yi Lee.
"I think the girls wanted their revenge, they were pretty fired up,"
Malaysia coach Ajaz Azmat said afterwards.
Egypt, meanwhile, showed more of the outstanding form that has come to
be expected, with World No.1 Nouran Gohar, World No.3 Hania El Hammamy
and World No.2 Nour El Sherbini cruising to victory over World No.58
Georgia Adderley, World No.133 Katriona Allen and World No.119 Alison
Thomson.
“I think there’s always a pressure playing in Egypt because of the
expectations, especially when you have World No.1, 2, 3 and 6 in the
world," Egypt’s coach Engy Kheirallah said afterwards.
The semi-finals of the WSF Women's World Team Championship will be
played tomorrow, December 15 on Madinaty's outdoor glass court. Egypt
will play Malaysia at 17:30 (GMT+2), followed by England v USA at 19:30.

Hong Kong, China upset England to top Pool C as

No.5/6 seeds Hong Kong, China, overcame No.3 seeds England to top Pool C
on the final day of the pools stage of the WSF Women’s World Team

On the indoor glass court at the Madinaty Sporting Club, the defending
Asian Team champions made a strong start as World No.37 Sin Yuk Chan
came from 2-1 down to beat World No.22 Jasmine Hutton 3-2.
Hong Kong, China had a chance to finish the tie inside of two matches
when their No.1 Tomato Ho went 2-1 up against Sarah-Jane Perry, only for
the England No.1 to roar back with a bagel and then a comprehensive 11-4
to level the tie.
England appeared to be out of the woods when World No.31 Lucy Turmel
opened a 2-0 lead over Tsz-Wing Tong. Tong, however, mounted a brilliant
comeback of her own to stun the seven-time champions, with the World
No.44 pounding the glass in delight after taking the final three games
11-8, 11-5, 11-9.
Afterwards, Hong Kong, China coach Peter Genever said: “I’m delighted.
They played really well but that was a really good tie, and a tough one,
with them all going to five games. I’m really pleased.
“We all know Tong is a fighter, she’s known for that and to be 2-0 down
and things not looking that good, but once she got that third game we
thought ‘she’s renowned for sticking in there and being tough to beat’
and thankfully she did that again today.”
In a rematch of last month’s Asian Team Championship final, Hong Kong,
China, will face Malaysia in the quarter-finals tomorrow after the 5/6
seeds fell to a 2-1 defeat to No.4 seeds France.
France, whose Camille Serme and Melissa Alves impressed in taking the
first two matches of the Malaysia tie, will take on England.
World No. 1 Egypt's Nouran Gohar
Prior to France’s tie on the outdoor glass court, defending champions
and top seeds Egypt continued their comfortable progress through the
competition and they romped to victory against 7/8 seeds Canada.
Canada, who opted to rest their No.1, Commonwealth Games silver
medallist Hollie Naughton, were unable to lay a glove on Egypt in a
brutally one-sided tie, with Nour El Sherbini, Nouran Gohar and Nour El
Tayeb needing a total of just 57 minutes to deliver the win.
“All the girls are in top form, despite them all coming from the Hong
Kong Open, where they all had very tough matches. Their performances
today were spot on,” Egypt coach Engy Kheirallah said.
Canada will go into a North American derby with neighbours USA tomorrow
after the No.2 seeds easily dismantled 7/8 seeds Scotland, who were
without their No.1 Lisa Aitken after the World No.28 was forced to
withdraw from the tournament due to an injury suffered in yesterday’s
match with Australia’s Donna Lobban.
Despite the defeat, Scotland go through to the quarter-finals as runners
up in Pool B. They will face Egypt in the first tie on the outdoor glass
court tomorrow, which takes place at 17:30.
Elsewhere, there were wins for Switzerland, Australia, South Africa and
Finland in their final pool ties.

Day 3
Women's World Team Championship - top spot in all
pools up for grabs tomorrow
The pools stage of the WSF Women's World Team Championship will reach an
exciting conclusion tomorrow, with the top spot up for grabs in all four
pools.
Malaysia and France will battle it out for the top spot in Pool D after
Malaysia edged past Japan in a competitive encounter on day three of the
tournament at the Madinaty Sporting Club in Cairo, Egypt.
5/6 seeds Malaysia, runners up in 2014, went into their tie with Japan
as favourites and hit the ground running when Yiwen Chan stormed past
Risa Sugamoto 3-0 in 20 minutes.
Japan pulled level when Malaysia’s Aifa Azman, who was 2-1 down at the
time, was forced to retire hurt in the fourth game of her match with
Japan’s Satomi Watanabe.
Rachel Arnold
Malaysia’s World No.25 Rachel Arnold, though, was able to remain steady
as she held off a spirited challenge from 17-year-old World No.98 Akari
Midorikawa 11-6, 11-2, 11-9 to setup an enthralling encounter tomorrow.
“This was an important tie. Aifa was playing well in her match but then
had the injury, but she’s doing fine now. She and the other three girls
are playing well. Rachel really played well [to close out the tie].
We’re hoping to take France tomorrow afternoon. We want to finish number
one in our group,” Malaysia coach Ajaz Azman said afterwards.
Tomorrow will see a number of blockbuster ties when the pool stage
concludes tomorrow.
5/6 seeds Hong Kong, China, will take on England for top spot in Pool C
after they got the better of South Africa on the outdoor glass court.
Ka Yi Lee
While No.3 seeds England may go into that clash as slight favourites,
they will have taken note of the performances of Ka Yi Lee and Sin Yuk
Chan after they secured the victory with wins over Cheyna Wood and
Lizelle Muller either side of Hong Kong No.1 Tomato Ho’s 3-2 defeat to
Alexandra Fuller.
"It's always tough against South Africa, they usually play above their
level in the team events and they gave us a really tough challenge
tonight," Hong Kong coach Peter Genever said.
7/8 seeds Scotland, meanwhile, will compete with No.2 seeds USA for the
top spot in Pool B tomorrow after they overcame Australia - the most
successful team in tournament history with nine titles - 2-1, though
there will be great concern in the camp after Scotland No.Lisa Aitken
suffered what appeared to be a serious injury.
Scotland’s meeting with the No.2 seeds may be a particularly tense
affair, with the runner up in Pool B scheduled to play the Pool A
winner, which will be either 7/8 seeds Canada or top seeds and defending
champions Egypt.
Egypt and Canada will meet tomorrow on the outdoor glass court to play
for the group winner’s spot after Canada came from one match down to
beat Switzerland.
In the day’s other tie, Finland picked up their first win of the
championship as they overcame debutants Chinese Taipei 3-0.
The pools stage of the WSF Women’s World Team Championship concludes
tomorrow (13 December) from 17:30 (GMT+2). You can watch the glass court

Day 2
Canada survive scare on day two of WSF Women's World
Team Championship
No.7/8 seeds Canada survived a challenging encounter with Wales to win
their first tie of the WSF Women's World Team Squash Championship at the
Madinaty Sporting Club in Cairo, Egypt.
Wales - who prior to the tournament had been expected to be seeded
fourth until they lost World No.13 Tesni Evans to injury on the eve on
the tournament - made an inauspicious start as Stacey Gooding was
dispatched by Nikole Todd in just 18 minutes, but fought back
brilliantly in the second match through Lowri Roberts.
World No.151 Roberts went 2-0 down to World No.50 Nicole Bunyan, before
targeting the back corners well in a spirited comeback as she levelled
the tie with a 3-2 victory.
Hollie Naughton
Canadian No.1 and World No.17 Hollie Naughton, however, was able to keep
her cool in the decider against Welsh World No.21 Emily Whitlock in an
entertaining clash, with 2022 Commonwealth Games silver medallist
Naughton recording a 11-8, 11-9, 8-11, 11-7 victory in 42 minutes to win
the tie.
“I think it was a good team performance, Nicole [Bunyan] was unlucky.
Nikki played great and Hollie is a great number one; it was a super
strong performance!" Canada's coach Vicky Lust said afterwards.
For the rest of the seeded teams, the day was a largely trouble-free
affair. Top seeds and defending champions Egypt, playing in the day's
final match on the outdoor court, were in ruthless form even without
World No.1 Nouran Gohar, with Nour El Tayeb, Hania El Hammamy and Nour
El Sherbini easily brushing aside the Welsh team playing its second tie
of the day.
Nour El Sherbini
USA, seeded to challenge Egypt for the title in the final, were also in
top form, with Olivia Clyne, Sabrina Sobhy and Olivia Fiechter breezing
past Germany's Maya Weishar, Katerina Tycova and Saskia Beinhard.
Elsewhere, today saw a second team make its championship debut,
following Chinese Taipei's debut yesterday.
Ukraine, whose juniors also made a debut appearance in this summer's WSF
World Junior Championship, marked a first ever appearance at the Women's
World Team Championship with a 3-0 defeat to Hong Kong, China in the
morning session and then a second whitewash against England in the
evening session.
Ukraine coach Kostiantyn Rybalchenko was in an upbeat mood afterwards,
despite the defeats. "This is a perfect time for our team and our
country to be represented and competing in this championship. It's such
good news for us," he said.
The pools stage of the WSF Women’s World Team Championship resumes
tomorrow (12 December) from 17:30 (GMT+2). You can watch all of the
action live and free on

Day 1
Defending champs Egypt make crushing start at World
Teams
Hosts and defending WSF Women's World Team Champions Egypt made the
perfect start to their title defence as they breezed past Switzerland as
the championship made its long-awaited return.
After a lengthy hiatus for the World Team Championship, which was last
played in China in 2018 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Egypt squad
quickly reminded the watching world why they were seeded top and clear
favourites for the title.
Nouran Gohar (headband)
World No.1 Nouran Gohar set the tone for a dominant performance in the
first tie of the pools stage at the Madinaty Sporting Club. The
25-year-old was in typically efficient form as she stormed past
Switzerland's Cindy Merlo 11-4, 11-2, 11-3 in 18 minutes before Nour El
Tayeb and World Team Championship debutant Hania El Hammamy finished the
job with 3-0 wins of their own over Ambre Allinckx and Nadia Pfister,
respectively.
“It’s always great to play the World Teams, especially after we missed
it for four years! Now we’re back in Egypt and it’s very special to us.
We hope we can make everyone here proud," Gohar said afterwards.
Elsewhere, there were battling wins for both France and England. France,
seeded fourth and recalling Camille Serme and Coline Aumard from
retirement, fell behind in their clash with Japan when Satomi Watanabe
got the better of Melissa Alves 11-4, 8-11, 12-10, 11-5 in an
entertaining 42-minute encounter.
Alves' teammates Serme and Aumard quickly steadied the ship, though,
with Aumard levelling the tie with a 3-1 win over Risa Sugimoto before
former World No.2 Serme completed the comeback by beating Akari
Midorikawa 3-0 in 19 minutes.
Jasmine Hutton
No.3 seeds England, meanwhile, recorded a 3-0 win over South Africa.
Jasmine Hutton led the team out and came from 2-1 down to edge past
South Africa No.1 Alexandra Fuller 3-2 in a tense meeting, before
Julianne Courtice - a late call up in place of the injured Georgina
Kennedy - and Lucy Turmel wrapped up the match with comfortable
straight-game victories over Cheyna Wood and Lizelle Muller.
"When we saw the order of play, we realised it was probably not as
favourable to us we would have liked, French National Coach Philippe
Signoret said afterwards.
"Satome is a player in great form at the moment, and here, she proved it
yet again.
"We've played Japan three times in the World Teams and each time, they
give us hell!"
In the day's other matches, [5/6] seeds Malaysia swept debutants Chinese
Taipei aside in a total of just 43 minutes, while No.2 seeds USA -
hoping to improve on three consecutive fifth-place finishes - eased past
Australia 3-0.
The pools stage of the WSF Women's World Team Championship resumes

Players announced for 2022 WSF Women's World Team
Championship
The squad list for the 2022 WSF Women’s World Team Squash Championship
has been announced, with teams from all over the globe selecting some of
the world’s best players to battle it out in Madinaty Sport Club, Cairo,
Egypt.
The championship, which will be played 10-16 December and is set to
feature 17 teams, is a biennial international tournament which sees
four-player squads from each country compete in best-of-three-match
clashes.
For hosts and defending champions Egypt (above), World No.1 Nouran Gohar
leads a devastatingly strong team that boasts four of the world’s top
six players. The 25-year-old, who won the 2016 and 2018 World Team
Championships, is joined by three-time champion and World No.2 Nour El
Sherbini, World No.3 and Women’s World Team Championship debutant Hania
El Hammamy, and two-time champion and World No.6 Nour El Tayeb.
Olivia Clyne
The USA, who will be hoping to improve on fifth-place finishes in 2018,
2016, and 2014, will travel with what is arguably the strongest ever US
Team assembled, with World No.4 Amanda Sobhy, World No.11 Olivia
Fiechter, World No.18 – and younger sister to Amanda – Sabrina Sobhy,
and World No.20 Olivia Clyne selected.
England, seven-time winners and runners up in the last edition, will go
in with confidence after winning the most recent European Team
Championships. World No.8 Sarah-Jane Perry leads the team, with World
No.9 and 2022 Commonwealth Games singles gold medallist Georgina
Kennedy, World No.27 Jasmine Hutton and World No.30 Lucy Turmel
completing the lineup.
The France team, which finished joint third in 2016 and 2018, has been
boosted by dramatic returns for former World No.2 Camille Serme, who
retired from the professional game in June 2022 and former World No.20
Coline Aumard, who retired in the same month, with the duo joining World
No.32 Melissa Alves and World No.43 Enora Villard.
Hong Kong, China, winners of this year’s Asian Team Championship, name
an unchanged lineup to the team that upset Malaysia earlier this month
in Cheongju, with Tomato Ho, Sin Yuk Chan, Ka Yi Lee and Tsz Wing Tong
returning to competitive action.
Also appearing at this year’s Women’s World Team Squash Championships
are Ukraine and Chinese Taipei, both of whom are making their
competition debuts.
Ukraine will be led by Anastasiia Kostiukova, with talented juniors
Milena Velychko, Sofiia Zrazhevska, and Anastasiia Krykun joining the
squad.
Chinese Taipei, meanwhile, will be represented by Yi-Hsuan Lee, Yuan
Wang, Wei-Ting Huang and Yi-Chun Wu.
Here’s how some of the players have reacted to their selection:
Egypt’s Nouran Gohar: “I’m extremely happy to be representing my
country, Egypt, at the World Teams event this year, in Egypt. I can’t
wait to have all of the Egyptian crowd out cheering for us!”
England’s Georgina Kennedy: “Representing England at the World Team
Championships in Egypt is a huge honour for me. It is always a special
feeling to wear the England shirt and I am particularly excited because
I have never played World Teams before. The England Team have such a
good dynamic and I am so excited to see what we can do this year! I feel
really lucky to be a part of this team and I can’t wait to get out there
and compete for our country!”
Ukraine’s Anastasiia Kostiukova: “It will be the first time our women’s
team [has competed] at the World Championship and I’m feeling excited to
go for this amazing experience . For me, it’s a great honour to take
part in the event and I will do my best to represent my country. I’m
very excited to do that!”
The USA’s Amanda Sobhy: “[There’s] no better feeling than representing
your country. There are only a few chances every couple of years that I
get to play for the US, so to be suiting up in the red, white, and blue
alongside my teammates is an amazing feeling. We have a really strong
team and have been looking forward to Women’s World Teams for the last 4
years, so we are excited to show the squash world what the US women are
capable of!”
Wales’ Tesni Evans: “It always means a lot to play for Wales; I have
some really good memories in a Welsh shirt and am always so proud to put
on the shirt and give everything for the team! I’m really looking
forward to the World Team Champs. It’s always a great event; it’s always
fun to play team events and play for your country! So it will be fun and
I look forward to seeing how Wales can do!”

Three England stars to debut at 2022 WSF Women’s World
Team Championships
Gina Kennedy, Jasmine Hutton, Sarah-Jane Perry, and
Lucy Turmel
England Squash has announced the quartet that will head to the 2022 WSF
Women’s World Team Squash Championships in Cairo from 10-16 December.
Georgina Kennedy – the current Commonwealth Games gold medallist,
Jasmine Hutton, World No.26, and World No.30 Lucy Turmel will all make
their senior world debut alongside World No.8 Sarah-Jane Perry who’ll
lead out the team.
The quartet, who were crowned European Team champions for the 41st time
in May, will combine youth with experience, with 32-year-old Perry
making her fourth World Team appearance.
Seven-time world champions England will be striving to go one better
than their 2018 runner-up position and reclaim the title they last won
in 2014.
England Squash National Coach David Campion said: “We’re thrilled to
field three debutants in our World Teams squad. These girls are young
and on the rise and they have shown what they are capable of throughout
the year. Sarah-Jane provides the much-needed experience within the team
and I’ll be looking to Gina, Jazz and Lucy to step up to the task.
Despite being a new team, we are still amongst the favourites for medals
which is exciting.”
England captain Sarah-Jane Perry added: “The World Teams is always such
a special experience and to share it with three debutants this year
definitely makes it a memorable one. They were exceptional at the
European Teams in April and I can’t wait to head to Cairo with them in
December. We’re going to give it absolutely everything we’ve got.”
World no. 9 Georgina Kennedy said: “I’m so excited to pull on the
England shirt again and play alongside such a talented squad. Nothing
quite beats the feeling of doing your country proud and it’s a huge
honour to be selected for this prestigious event.”
The biennial tournament will feature 17 teams with England facing a
strong challenge from hosts Egypt that will feature a number of the
world’s top 10 players.
