Congratulations to IWGA Athlete of the Month, Squash World Champion Nour El Sherbini (EGY)! In April 2017, El Sherbini successfully retained her World Championship title - 12 months after becoming the youngest, and first Egyptian, winner of the most prestigious women's title in Squash. In May last year, then 20 years and 6 months old, El Sherbini became the second youngest women's World Number 1 of all-time.

"I’m over the moon, two or three months ago I wouldn’t have imagined that I would have won because I haven’t won a [major] title this season," said El Sherbini. "It felt like I wasn’t going to win this season anymore, but once I knew that it was going to be in Egypt, I was so excited and I wanted to come and play here. I’m really happy to win in front of my home crowd"
