Egyptian squash prodigy Amina Orfi has made history by becoming the youngest player ever to reach World #1 in women\u2019s squash \u2013 at just 19 years old.<\/p>\n

Orfi clinched the top spot after winning the QTerminals Qatar Classic in a thrilling 3-2 final against compatriot Hania al-Hammamy, raising her total to 2,109 points and dethroning the world standings leader.<\/p>\n

The reigning World Champion and four-time World Junior Champion survived a tense fifth-game decider to secure the title.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Al-Ahram, Orfi acknowledged the final\u2019s intensity and emphasized her resolve to hold onto the top ranking as she eyes gold at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

From surprise exits to marathon wins<\/h3>\n

Semifinal runs:<\/strong> Orfi swept America\u2019s Olivia Weaver 3\u20130 to reach the final, while al-Hammamy outlasted Malaysia\u2019s world #5 Sivasangari Subramaniam 3\u20132 in a marathon battle.<\/p>\n

Early exits:<\/strong> Eight-time World Champion Nour al-Sherbini suffered a surprise 1\u20133 defeat against Malaysia\u2019s Delia Arnold.<\/p>\n

Withdrawals:<\/strong> Former World #1 Nouran Gohar\u2014returning to the tour following a two-year maternity break\u2014and Belgium\u2019s Tinne Gilis both withdrew in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
