26-Nov, from PSA media:
Ramy set for Hong Kong return

World No.1 Ramy Ashour is aiming for a return to winning ways during the 2013 Cathay Pacific Sun Hung Kai Financial Hong Kong Open, which gets underway at the Hong Kong Squash Centre on 1st December.

Ashour was forced to withdraw from the recent World Championship in Manchester due to a leg injury, which also ruled him out of the Qatar Classic, but the Egyptian maestro is set to return to the court in Hong Kong and he’s relishing the chance to defend the title he won there in 2012.

“The Hong Kong Open is one of the most important tournaments on the PSA World Tour and an event that all players look forward to,” said Ashour.

“Every single player in the competition will be fighting their hardest to win that trophy, especially as it is the last World Series event of 2013, and I am really looking forward to defending my title.

“Playing at the Harbour in Hong Kong is very special and I will give it everything to return there and compete for honours once again.

“My injury rehabilitation has gone well over the past few weeks and I am feeling fit and confident and hopefully I will be able to play to my best in Hong Kong.”
