"I've never ever seen a team like this one. Each player deserves praise and great respect for their wonderful performance", said Egypt coach Cherine Adel. It took just 45 minutes for Habiba Mohamed Ahmed Alymohmed and Nour El Sherbini to win the 1st 2 matches in the final of the Women’s World Junior Team Championship to take Egypt into the record books after winning the World Squash Federation title for an historic 4th successive time.
The tie against 2nd seeds USA – a repeat of the previous final 2 years ago in the USA – brought to a climax 12 days of action in Wroclaw, which featured more than 160 players from a record 37 nations competing in the first ever staging of the Men’s & Women’s World Junior Individual Championships and the Women’s World Junior Team Championship in Poland.
