Mostafa Asal & Nour ElSherbini Crowned 2025 Hong Kong Open Champions

Reigning World Champions Mostafa Asal and Nour ElSherbini were crowned 2025 Milwaukee Hong Kong Squash Open champions after delivering commanding performances on finals night at Ocean Park, each securing their titles with straight-game victories over Youssef Ibrahim and Olivia Weaver.

World No.1 Asal capped a flawless week by overpowering No.8 seed Ibrahim, the breakout star of the tournament, to lift the title without losing a single game. The defending champion, now only the fifth man to retain the Hong Kong Squash Open, looked in complete control throughout the contest, claiming his third title of the season with an emphatic 11-6 11-8 11-6 victory. World No.6 Ibrahim contributed fully to a high-quality final, producing a stream of spectacular winners across the 56-minute clash, but Asal’s resilience and precision proved telling. The 24-year-old battled back from 6-3 down to take a pivotal second game before closing-out the third game to secure another statement victory.

Nour ElSherbini, the World No.4, was equally authoritative as she collected her first PSA title of the 2025/26 squash season, the 45th of her glittering career, with a superb performance against U.S. No.1 Olivia Weaver. Eight years after her maiden Hong Kong Squash Open success, the Egyptian star once again reigned supreme on the all-glass showcourt, dispatching the No.4 seed 11-5 11-5 11-7 in 32 minutes. Her deft changes of pace and subtle holds repeatedly disrupted Weaver’s movement and rhythm, allowing ElSherbini to dominate the opening two games before recovering from 6-1 down in the third to complete a polished and decisive triumph.

The 2025 Milwaukee Hong Kong Squash Open was staged at Ocean Park, Hong Kong from the 1st to 7th December.
