Ali Farag & Hania El Hammamy win 2025 J.P Morgan Tournament of Champions titles

World No.1 Ali Farag and fellow Egyptian Hania El Hammamy emerged victorious at the 2025 J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions, held beneath the iconic chandeliers of Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall in New York, USA.

The men's final saw top seed Ali Farag claim his fourth J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions title with a hard-fought 9-11 12-10 14-12 11-1victory over reigning World Champion Diego Elias, whilst World No.3 Hania El Hammamy defeated Women’s World Champion Nouran Gohar 8-11 11-8 3-11 11-6 11-8 in 79 minutes.

An enthralling men’s final, witnessed a remarkable battle of skill and endurance for the opening three games with Ali Farag edging two crucial tie-breaks to take control of the match. However, the contest ended in dramatic fashion in the fourth game when Diego Elias, trailing in the mid-phase, received two conduct strokes, one for racket abuse and another for dissent, allowing Farag to close out the match untroubled.

Meanwhile, World No.3 Hania El Hammamy produced a career-defining performance to capture her maiden Tournament of Champions title, overcoming Women’s World Champion Nouran Gohar in a gripping five-game thriller. The 24-year-old Egyptian ended a seven-match losing streak against Gohar, prevailing 8-11 11-8 3-11 11-6 11-8 in 79 minutes to claim her first PSA World Squash Tour title since December 2023.

The women’s final saw multiple shifts in momentum, with both players showing their resilience and determination. After trading the opening four games, Hania El Hammamy displayed remarkable composure in the decisive fifth game, fending off a late surge from her opponent to convert her fourth match ball and seal an emotional victory inside the grand setting of Grand Central Terminal.
