El Sherbini wins Squash Player’s Player of the Month award

Nour El Sherbini has been named Female Player of the Month for April by the London-based Squash Player magazine after maintaining her astonishing start to 2016 in March.

The 20-year-old stepped up her bid for the world no.1 ranking by following her runner-up placing at the Windy City Open behind Raneem El Welily in Chicago at the beginning of the month by becoming the first Egyptian woman to win a British Open title.

Having also lifted the Tournament of Champions trophy in January, the world no.5 has claimed two of the first three World Series events of the year, but it was her British Open success that meant the most.

“I’m over the moon at becoming the first Egyptian woman ever to win the prestigious British Open,” she said after her 3/2 final victory over compatriot Nouran Gohar. “It’s the biggest and most valuable title of my career.

“I’m really proud to be representing Egypt anywhere, so to be the first Egyptian to win the British Open is a huge thing for me. I’m really happy that Egypt is proud of me and I want to keep making them proud.”
