Orfi, Gawad, & ElShorbagy Brothers Qualify For SmartCentres PSA Squash Tour Finals 2024-25

Amina Orfi, Karim Abdel Gawad and Mohamed and Marwan ElShorbagy have all secured their spots in the SmartCentres PSA Squash Tour Finals 2024-25 after reaching points totals that confirm top-eight finishes in the Road to Tour Finals standings. After the conclusion of the Gold-level Palm Hills Squash Open, women’s World No.5 Amina Orfi has moved to a current points total of 11,667 – a number which cannot see her drop beneath the top-eight qualification places regardless of her finish at the GillenMarkets British Open. Meanwhile, it is a similar case for the ElShorbagy brothers and former World Champion Gawad, the latter of whom claimed an impressive runner-up finish at the Palm Hills Squash Open in Cairo earlier this week. The confirmed qualifications of these three players means there is just one spot left to fill in the men’s PSA Squash Tour Finals line-up, a position which is currently occupied by Tarek Momen. However, with both Momen and 9th-placed Aly Abou Eleinen not featuring in the main draws for the GillenMarkets British Open, the door is open for the likes of Youssef Soliman, Eain Yow Ng and Youssef Ibrahim to stake their claims. Elsewhere, the battle for the remaining top eight spots in the Women’s Standings is heating up, with Satomi Watanabe’s runner-up finish at the Palm Hills Open seeing her climb four spots to sit in 7th place. With just 1,300 points separating Tinne Gilis in 6th position and Amanda Sobhy in 10th spot, the pressure is on ahead of the upcoming GillenMarkets British Open, where all five players (Gilis, Watanabe, Sivasangari Subramaniam, Georgina Kennedy and Sobhy) will be featuring. To qualify for the event, players must win a prestigious Diamond title, whilst the reigning World Champions – Nour El Sherbini and Mostafa Asal – also qualify automatically. Any remaining places are allocated to the players who fill out the top eight spots in the Road to Tour Finals standings, with points on offer at all PSA World Events during the season. The SmartCentres PSA Squash Tour Finals 2024-25 will be held in Canada for the first time in the event’s history when SmartCentres’ Revival Film Studios in Toronto hosts the world’s leading squash players for five days, between June 23-27, 2025. Live action from the SmartCentres PSA Squash Tour Finals will be streamed via SQUASHTV, while the semi-finals and finals will be shown by the PSA’s broadcast partners.
