World No.9 Marwan ElShorbagy has been called up to the PSA Squash Tour Finals presented by TWG Global after the withdrawal of World No.5 Youssef Ibrahim due to injury.
ElShorbagy, who by virtue of qualifying ninth in the Race to the Finals presented by TWG Global standings, is the first reserve in the case of an injury in the men’s line-up, will make his fifth appearance at the season-ending event.
Ibrahim’s withdrawal was widely expected after the Egyptian underwent surgery on his injured left shoulder, which he had dislocated on numerous occasions over the last 18 months on tour. Ibrahim had previously qualified in fifth position in the Race to the Finals presented by TWG Global.
The eight players now competing in the men’s event are: Mostafa Asal, Paul Coll, Karim Gawad, Diego Elias, Victor Crouin, Mohamad Zakaria, Joel Makin and Marwan ElShorbagy.
This year will see the PSA Squash Tour Finals held in France for the first time in the event’s history, with the stunning Centquatre-Paris hosting the event between June 17-20. All of the action will be streamed live on SQUASHTV. The event has traditionally been a best-of-three event with the finals being played in the best-of-five format. This year, the best-of-five format will be used throughout.
