Elshorbagy Excited To Compete In May Dubai World Series Finals by Nathan Clarke photo squashpics.com
April 9, 2016
- After securing his place in the season-ending Dubai PSA World Series
Finals with a fifth consecutive PSA World Series title at last month's
Allam British Open, World No.1 Mohamed Elshorbagy says he is looking
forward to competing in Dubai for the first time ever when he will be
aiming to collect a maiden World Series Finals crown this May.
Even
with one qualifying tournament remaining, this month's El Gouna
International, Elshorbagy holds an unassailable lead atop the Men's
Road To Dubai Standings and is assured of his place at the lucrative
tournament, which he feels will be the perfect ending to the 2015/16
season.
"I’m really looking forward to playing in Dubai,
I’ve been there a few times because my father used to work there, so I
know how amazing the place is," said Elshorbagy.
"I’m really
excited to be going there and I’m looking forward to competing in May.
It’s going to be the perfect way to end the season in the summer."
Elshorbagy
lost out to compatriot Ramy Ashour in the title-decider during the 2013
World Series Finals but has dominated the PSA World Tour since then,
with his unrelenting dedication to self-improvement the key ingredient
behind a period of success that has seen him collect 13 titles inside
two years - reaching a further four finals.
"I work hard on my game every day and I try to improve each day," said the 25-year-old.
"I
train and see what went wrong in each tournament. Even if I win a
tournament it doesn’t mean I didn’t make any mistakes. I always go back
to my team and see what I did wrong.
"Being World No.1
isn’t just about winning a title or two, you need to be consistent
throughout the whole year and it’s not easy.
"I know I’ve
already achieved a lot this season but, as an athlete, you always try
to win more titles, you’re not satisfied, you want to always win and
that's what I'll be trying to do in Dubai.”
The 2015/16
Dubai PSA World Series Finals take place from May 24-28 in Dubai.
