Karim Abdel Gawad has been named Male Player of the Month for March
by the London-based Squash Player magazine after winning the $70,000
Swedish Open in February.
The 24-year-old second seed captured the most lucrative title of his
career by beating close friend Tarek Momen 3/2 in the final of the
M70 event in Linköping.
He labelled his Swedish Open success as “the biggest in my squash
career so far” and is now looking to take the next step in his
career.
“It's the biggest tournament I have ever won and this win will push
me to work [harder] and win higher tournaments,” Gawad said. “My
next target is to be in the top four soon and be more consistent.”
Gawad trains with “all the top guys in Egypt” at the Gezira Club in
Cairo. “I am lucky to have Tarek Momen , Omar Abdel Meguid , Karim
Ali and Omneya Abdel Kawy in my club,” he said.
