Squash: Egypt's El Sherbini, El Hammamy reach Women's World Championship quarters
Karim Farouk Published in Ahram Online on 28 - 10 - 2019

Egypt's Nour El Sherbini and Hania El Hammamy advanced to the quarterfinal of the PSA Women's World Championship that place in Egypt from 24 October to 1 November.
Defending Champions and World number 2 El Sherbini eased past Joshna Chinappa 3-0 (11-5, 11-3, 11-6) in the round of 16 to set up a meeting with World number 6 Joelle King of New Zealand on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day El Hammamy defeated Sivasangari Subramaniam of Malaysia 3-1 (11-8, 10-12, 11-8, 11-9) in 53 minutes to secure her first ever quarter final berth.
"I'm so pleased that I got through this match. I was a little bit nervous at the beginning of the match. We have played so many time throughout our junior careers and I'm sure we're going to have a lot more matches on the PSA Tour," 19-year old El Hammamy said after the game.
"I know that Siva likes to hold and make the opponent run all over the court, so I wanted to keep my shots tight and push her into the back corners. I ran out of my plan a little bit in the middle of the match, but I'm glad I managed to win.
"It feels great to have my family, friends and coaches all by my side. I'm looking forward to my next match and hopefully I can keep going."
On Sunday three Egyptians had already secured their qualification to the quarterfinal as world number 1 Raneem El Welily will face world number 5 Nour El Tayeb in an all Egyptian contest on Tuesday while Nouran Gohar will take on Sarah-Jane Perry of England.
