January 30, 2016
- Amanda Sobhy has been named Female Player of the Month for February
by the London-based Squash Player magazine after reaching her first PSA
World Series final at the Tournament of Champions in January.
The
10th-seeded American knocked out top seed Raneem Welily, sixth seed
Alison Waters and eighth seed Nouran Gohar before going down 3/1 to
seventh seed Nour El Sherbini in the New York final.
The New
York-born 22-year-old also broke into the world top 10 for the first
time in January and put that achievement down to a combination of hard
work and linking up with a sports dietician.
“I have
been doing the same thing for the past few months by just putting my
head down and working hard with my coaches and fitness trainer to
improve on my weaknesses and to keep improving on my strengths,” she
said.
“In addition, I started working with a sports
dietician, Tara Mardigan, who has helped me out a lot, and it's showing
in my movement and speed on court.”
Sobhy is now
targeting further success in the final two World Series events of the
women’s season – the Windy City and British Opens.
