Mostafa Asal has qualified for the season-ending 2021-22 CIB PSA World
Tour Finals following his U.S. Open
PSA Platinum victory, while Nouran Gohar has strengthened her lead
at the top of the women’s standings.
The CIB PSA World Tour Finals includes both a men’s and women’s
tournament featuring eight players each and brings together all PSA
World Tour Platinum title winners. Any remaining places are allocated to
the highest ranked players on the CIB Road to Egypt Standings, with
points on offer at all PSA World Tour events during the season.
Asal, who won the CIB World Tour Finals title last season, has moved up
to third place and has secured his place at the tournament, which will
take place in Cairo in June, following his victory last night over
former World Champion Tarek Momen at the Arlen Specter US Squash Center
as he claimed his maiden Platinum title.
World No.1 Ali Farag still leads the way at the top of the men’s
standings with 6,985 points and had already secured his place following
his Platinum win at the CIB Egyptian Open earlier this season.
New Zealand’s Paul Coll sits in third place, while the rest of the top
eight includes Mohamed ElShorbagy (No.4), Momen (No.5), Peru’s Diego
Elias (No.6), Wales’ Joel Makin (No.7) and Marwan ElShorbagy rounds off
the top eight.
In the women’s standings, World No.2 Gohar remains top with 7,740 points
and has strengthened her lead following her victory last night at the
U.S. Open in Philadelphia.
The Egyptian had already qualified for the World Tour Finals following
her win at the CIB Egyptian Open in front of the Great Pyramid of Giza
in September and her victory over El Hammamy last night made it
back-to-back Platinum victories for the 24-year-old.
World No.1 Nour El Sherbini sits in second place with 5,660 points and
is closely followed by last season’s World Tour Finals winner El Hammamy
with 5,240 points.
USA’s Amanda Sobhy moves up to fourth place following her win last month
at the Oracle NetSuite Open PSA World Tour Gold event, while England’s
Sarah-Jane Perry (No.5), Egypt’s Salma Hany (No.6), New Zealand’s Joelle
King (No.7) and Rowan Elaraby complete the top eight.
The next PSA World Tour event will be the men’s Qatar Q-Terminals
Classic PSA Platinum tournament between 17-23 October.

2022 in Cairo. For more information follow the PSA World Tour on
