2024 Hong Kong Open squash – Athletes to watch
Four-time world champion Ali Farag is the men’s top seed, but as a three-time runner-up in Hong Kong, China, he knows all too well that victory is far from a foregone conclusion.
The Egyptian will be eager to avenge his loss in last year’s final to Paul Coll of New Zealand after a five-game battle lasting for more than an hour.
Former champion Mostafa Asal, also of Egypt, defending champion Coll, and current world champion Diego Elias from Peru round off a star-studded top-four seeds.
The women’s top three seeds are from Egypt, including World No.1 and seven-time world champion Nour El Sherbini, current world champion Nouran Gohar, and two-time reigning Hong Kong Open champion Hania El Hammamy.
Talented U.S. player Olivia Weaver completes the top four seeds.
