LETHBRIDGE, MAR.25 (SEE) - Egyptian squash player Mohamed El-Sherbini, world number 74, beat his fellow citizen Omar Abdel Meguid, world ranked 57, at the Lethbridge Pro-Am’s final that took place in the Canadian city, Leithbridge.

Although Abdel Meguid took the opening the game 11-9, his rival insisted on winning the second 12-10.  The former did not surrender and won the third also by 11-9. Warrior El-Sherbini secured the following two games 11-9 and 11-3, respectively.

This is the 9th Professional Squash Association’s Title for El-Sherbini. He received his 8th title also in Canada, at Winnipeg, after he was announced the champion of the Qualico Manitoba Open on 19 March, that was also celebrated in the Canadian city, Winnipeg.

If Canada brought luck this month to the champion, then South Africa shall be recalled, the nation where he triumphed with his first four titles: Assore & Balwin Parkview Open 2017, West Rand Open 2017, Keith Grainger Memorial UCT Open 2017, and Bull Ring Open 2017.

The Pharaoh previously mentioned in this regard, “South Africa I am sure you will remember my name for a long time.”

Winning the Growthpoint SA Open 2018, Annecy PSA Open 2018, and Cleveland Skating Club Open 2017 were amongst his victories.
