Squash Player - Player Of The Month

Gohar Wins Squash Player’s Player Of The Month Award


Egyptian Nouran Gohar has been named Player of the Month for August by the authoritative London-based Squash Player magazine after upsetting the seedings to win the world junior women’s title for the first time.

The 17-year-old second seed from Cairo defeated top-seeded compatriot Habiba Mohamed 3/1 in the final in the Netherlands, reversing the result of their meeting in last year’s final to give Gohar her first victory over the 16-year-old.

"I didn't think of last year at all,” said Gohar after her 11-6, 7-11, 11-7, 17-15 victory. “I know I played badly then and I didn't want it to affect me.

"The fourth was so tough. If I'd lost that, I don't think I would have had anything left. I was so pleased to finish it in four. I really don't know what happened at the end!"

Gohar’s win in Eindhoven capped a remarkable year, in which she has soared up the world rankings from 29th to 15th.
