Habiba Withdrawal Leads To World Junior Championship Redraw by Howard Harding 29 July 2016 -
Egypt's Hania El Hammamy has been elevated to second seed in next
month's WSF Women's World Junior Squash Championship following the
withdrawal of the original No.2 seed Habiba Mohamed who is still
undergoing rehabilitation following recent shoulder surgery.
The World Squash Federation event, which will run alongside the Men's
World Junior Championship, will take place at the nine-court Enjoy
Squash club in Bielsko-Biała, Poland, from 7-11 August.
El Hammamy, the 15-year-old world No.46 from Cairo, is now expected to
face compatriot Nouran Gohar, the 18-year-old defending champion from
Cairo, ranked five in the world, in the final.
Also unable to compete due to illness is Indian Harshit Jawanda, who
was a 13/16 seed. Egyptian reserve Zeina Mickawy and the Indian reserve
Ashita Bhengra have now joined the field.
