- American number one Amanda Sobhy says she's excited to become the
first U.S. born player ever to compete in the iconic season-ending PSA
Dubai World Series Finals, which will take place in front of the
stunning Burj Khalifa from May 24-28.
With a record prize
fund of $160,000 up for grabs in the Women's tournament - equal that on
offer in the Men's event - Sobhy will travel to Dubai ahead of what
could be the biggest pay day of her professional career to date when
she will hope to recapture the form that saw her reach the final of the
J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions in January.
"I'm very excited to have qualified for the World Series Finals in Dubai," said Sobhy.
"I
remember watching the last World Series finals on TV and thinking how
cool it was, so it's a really awesome feeling to be playing in it now
and just looking at the pictures of the court set up was giving me
goosebumps."
Sobhy reached the lucrative tournament, which
brings only the top eight players in the world together for an intense
week of competition played out in a shorter best-of-three format, after
securing the number eight spot on the Road To Dubai Standings and
believes the event will be the perfect end to what has been a dramatic
season on the Women's Tour.
"It's great for PSA to put on
this tournament to give back to the players for all of their hard work
and efforts throughout the season," she said.
"I think it will be a great event to end the season with.”
