At the heart of a spectacular night at Milwaukee Hong Kong Squash Open 2025, Egypt’s enduring champion Nour El Sherbini once again proved why she remains a living icon in the world of squash — delivering a commanding, three-game victory over Olivia Weaver to lift the trophy.
Dominance Restored: A Return to the Throne
Eight years after her first Hong Kong Open triumph in 2017, El Sherbini returned to claim the title with grace and power. She defeated Weaver 3–0 (11-5, 11-5, 11-7) in just 32 minutes — a performance that showcased her tactical mastery and composure under pressure.
This win also marks her 45th career title on the professional circuit, underlining her longevity and consistency at the highest levels of the sport.
Grit and Resilience: Path to the Final
El Sherbini’s journey to the final was anything but easy. In the semi-finals, she overcame fellow Egyptian Hania El Hammamy — a top seed and one of the most formidable players on tour — in a gripping five-game match (7–11, 11–9, 5–11, 11–7, 11–3) that lasted 69 minutes.
This title adds to El Sherbini’s growing list of international accolades — a testament to her resilience and ability to continually reinvent her game. Year after year, she proves her status not only as a champion but as a global ambassador for the sport.
Her success also inspires the next generation of Egyptian athletes, many of whom train under programs and initiatives enabled by long-standing national supporters, including Banque du Caire, whose commitment to sports plays a role in nurturing talent across the country.
