World Junior Squash championships 2009 - El Shorbagy and El Sherbini lead a 100% TECNIFIBRE success

Tecnifibre players M. El Shorbagy and N. El Sherbini are the 2 Junior world champions 2009. A big success for Tecnifibre again.

Mohamed El Shorbagy is still the champ. The Egyptian world n°17 beat Ivan Yuen in straight games, fending off a strong challenge from the Malaysian second seed before storming through the 3rd game to retain the title he won in Zurich last year.

History was made when Nour El Sherbini came from a game down to beat compatriot Nour El Tayeb, becoming the youngest junior girl's world champion, beating Nicol's record by well over 2 years...

M. El Shorbagy and N. El Tayeb are both playing with new Carboflex 130 racket, the new perfect weapon for players who are looking for a more manoeuvrable and nervous racket.

Tecnifibre players Dipika Pallikal and Mohamed El Shorbagy are top world junior seeds

India's Dipika Pallikal and Egyptian Mohamed El Shorbagy have been named as top seeds for next month's World Junior Squash Championships, the World Squash Federation event which has attracted players from 28 nations to the ICL Squash Academy in Chennai, India, from 29 July to 2 August.

Born and raised in Chennai, Dipika Pallikal is seeded to become India's first ever world squash champion.  Already ranked inside the women's world's top 50, 17-year-old Pallikal has established a significant junior career, winning the British Junior U17 Open title in 2008 and reaching the final in both the British Junior U19 Open and Asian Junior Championship earlier this year.

 

Title-holder Mohamed El Shorbagy has the chance to become only the second player in history to win the men's crown twice.  The 18-year-old favourite from Alexandria has already enjoyed a meteoric run in the sport - and boasts a senior world top 20 ranking following notable success on the PSA World Tour which has included final berths in the recent Spanish Open and Irish Open and a quarter-final finish in last year's World Open in his maiden appearance in the sport's premier championship.

El Shorbagy's predicted final opponent is Malaysian Ivan Yuen.  Winner of the recent Asian Junior Championship title, also in Chennai, the second seed from Selangor made his debut in the world's top 100 in May.

Canary Wharf: 18 year old M. El Shorbagy upset world n°5 !

The opening night of the ISS Canary Wharf Classic produced two stunning upsets as teenager Mohamed El Shorbagy beat the in-form Nick Matthew in the $52,500 5-star PSA Tour event at East Wintergarden in Canary Wharf, London.

 

Egyptian El Shorbagy, an 18-year-old Millfield School student (pictured) who is coached by squash legend Jonah Barrington, clinched the best result of his fledgling career as he beat England's former British Open champion Matthew 11-7, 5-11, 8-11, 12-10, 11-9 in a brutal 90-minute marathon that thrilled a full-house opening day crowd at the London Docklands venue.

 

Mohamed plays for the first time with new Tecnifibre Carboflex 130 racquet!

From pretty girls to swimming in the ice hole:) What a trip !!!!

Hey guys:)

I hope that everyone had a very romantic valentines!!!I was in Sweden during valentines  and I really had a good time .I mean a very good time!!!I think I should thank God for having me in Sweden during valentines cause I absolutely loved being around  soooo many pretty girls who were soo helpful and always friendly.I think I would love to go bck to sweden anyday !!heheh !! Sorry guys I talk a lot about girls but which guy doesn't ?? hehe.

Anyways lets forget about girls now and talk about my tournament in Sweden.I was really happy with as it was the start of the season.I won my first match and in the quarter I had to play against Aamir Atlas the player that I played in the finals of the world juniors.It was really important as it was our first match in the professional.I was very nervous before the match but I spoke to Jonah before the match and he prepared me mentally before the match very well as he can understand whats happening in my mind.I really did well and I won in 3,I didn't expect it but i was really glad.I reached the semi final and guess what I had to play the world number 1 Karim Karwish.I lost in 3 but I had a very tough 2nd and 3rd game with him but it was a very good experience for me.

The tournament was finished and I went with all the players to the party of the tournament.At the beginning I was really shy to dance but 15 minutes later I was completely a different person and I was dancing and doing some random movements and everyone was saying how amazing I am at dancing hehe.

BEGINNING TO A SUCCESSFUL YEAR !!!!!!

Salut,this is my first time to write in the blog and hopefully i can tell you about myself and i will be writing all my news here.Firstly happy new year to everyone,i am really excited about my first blog as it was really hard to start doing it because i was doing it with Dipika and she can't speak french and since the whole blog is in french so i had to be her french tutor as it was really good for my french to improve so i don't think that i will need to study french for a whole week :) Dipika at the beginning asked me how to start she said with hi...?hey...?and then i came up with hello and then she decided not to listen to me and i decided to start my blog with a french word :)

I am currently ranked 31 in the professional ranking and world junior champion.I started this year well as i won the british junior open under 19 which was really important to defend my title as it was really hard to do it because everyone was expecting me to win and everyone was playing against me at his best because they had nothing to loose so i was really glad to win it.Guillaume was with me in the whole tournament and he was a very good support for me and for all the tecnifibre players as he is always beside his players thanks guigui :)
