Nick Matthew & Mohamed Elshorbagy in the Final of the British Grand Prix 2015
Nick Matthew beat Karim Abdel Gawad in the semi-final of the 2015 AJ Bell British Grand Prix. The World No.2 progresses to his third consecutive final at the British Grand Prix, where this year he will face World No.1 Mohamed Elshorbagy.
Nick said about his semi-final opponent “Karim offered a different challenge to my other opponents. I’ve never played him before and with his silky skills he presented a totally different challenge. I never felt totally settled” (Nick Matthew (ENG) bt Karim Abdel Gawad 3-0: 11-7, 11-6, 13-11)
Top seed Mohamed Elshorbagy won 3-2 against Gregory Gaultier in the 2nd semi-final as the crowd were treated to an impressive display of athleticism from both players, which went in Elshorbagy’s favour as the 24-year-old finished won in the 5th game 7-11, 11-9, 11-7, 6-11, 11-8.
Elshorbagy Is New World No.1
23-year-old Egyptian Mohamed Elshorbagy has climbed to the top of the PSA World Tour rankings, overtaking 31-year-old Frenchman Gregory Gaultier.
He becomes the fourth youngest player ever to become squash World No.1. Elshorbagy enters the record books behind only Pakistani legends Jahangir & Jansher Khan (who both topped the charts aged 18) and compatriot Ramy Ashour who became number one aged 22. His victory over Gaultier in the semi-finals of the 2014 Delaware Investments US Open and Nick Matthew’s defeat to four-time World Champion Amr Shabana in the other last four encounter means that he will sit on top the PSA charts for the first time in his career (when the latest rankings come out in November 1st)
Mohamed described it as a dream moment come true. “It feels unbelievable right now,”said Elshorbagy. “It’s been a dream to get to that spot and I can’t believe I’m there right now.”
