The DPD Open Squash reaches its conclusion today as an all-Egyptian affair takes place in both the men’s and women’s finals at the PSA World Tour Gold tournament.
The action begins at 15:00 local time (UTC+2) with a top of the rankings battle between World No.1 Raneem El Welily and World Champion Nour El Sherbini.
The two players have faced each other 21 times in total, with the last 11 meetings all coming in finals.
El Welily narrowly leads the head-to-head 11-10 after she claimed the last meeting in the final of last month’s DPD Open Squash. However, three-time World Champion El Sherbini will be looking to level the scores again as she looks to reduce the gap at the top of the World Rankings.
They are followed on court by Egypt's World No.1 Ali Farag and World No.2 Mohamed ElShorbagy at 16:00 local time.
The two Egyptians have become familiar rivals on the PSA Tour and it will be the first meeting between the pair since Farag took the World No.1 spot from ElShorbagy.
28-year-old ElShorbagy leads the head-to-head record with nine wins to Farag’s six, however, Farag did claim the last meeting between in the pair in the final of the J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions.
Both matches will be shown live on SQUASHTV (rest of world), Eurosport Player (Europe only) and Facebook (Indian subcontinent only). READ MORE
