Amina Orfi and Hania El Hammamy withdraw from China Open

Amina Orfi and Hania El Hammamy have withdrawn from the China Open, the Professional Squash Association (PSA) has announced.

The men’s and women’s China Open will take place from 17 to 22 November.

The absence of the two Egyptian players means Malaysia’s Sivasangari Subramaniam becomes the tournament’s top seed.

Orfi heads into the event after winning the US Open last week, securing her fourth successive title. She has claimed six titles from her past seven tournaments.

The latest victory also made Orfi the youngest player to win the US Open squash title.

Her recent run began with a World Championship triumph in May, followed by victory at the British Open. At the start of the current season, she added the London Classic, Qatar Classic and Egypt Open titles to her collection.

Orfi’s US Open success took her total number of PSA titles to 17.

She has also become the youngest player to win the World Championship, British Open and US Open.
