Eighteen-year-old Egyptian squash prodigy Amina Orfi captured the women’s senior World Squash Championship title on Saturday evening, defeating her compatriot and defending champion Nour El Sherbini in a monumental upset.
With this historic victory, Orfi etches her name into the record books as the youngest female player ever to be crowned senior world champion, achieving the feat at just eighteen years and ten months old.
Orfi secured the crown over El Sherbini with a tight three-two match score, emerging victorious from a grueling, marathon battle that lasted one hundred and six minutes. The individual game scores concluded as follows: six-eleven, eleven-six, eleven-nine, seven-eleven, and fourteen-twelve.
