Ramy Ashour’s journey in squash has been remarkable since a young age. Starting to play at six years old in a country where squash is highly regarded, he quickly achieved success, winning titles, including the British Open in various age categories. In 2004, at the age of sixteen, he became the youngest junior world champion, a title he won again in 2006. His progress continued, and he reached the top ten in the world rankings by the end of 2006. Despite facing injuries, Ashour has maintained his status as one of the top players in the world and has left a significant mark in the history of squash.
