World No.4 Ramy
Ashour successfully retained his EL Gouna International
Squash Open title against the idyllic backdrop of the
Red Sea today, beating compatriot and World No.3 Mohamed
Elshorbagy 3-1 to seal the championship.
Ashour
was in scintillating form as he saw off his younger
opponent, who came into the match following an epic
112-minute victory over World No.1 Gregory Gaultier of
France in the semi-finals, to win just his first PSA
World Series title since he claimed the 2013 British
Open.
The maverick Egyptian, who endured an
injury-plagued four months from October 2013 – January
2014, looked to be back at his devastating best
throughout the entire tournament as he romped to the
final without dropping a single game and proved too much
for the ever-determined Elshorbagy.
