Khalifa set for World
Junior
double in Belgium ...
 Egypt's
Amr Khaled Khalifa is set to become only third man in
history to win the title twice when he defends his crown in
the WSF Men's World Junior Squash Championship in Belgium in
July.
The 18-year-old from Cairo is named as top seed in the 2011
championship which will take place at the Flemish Squash
Centre in Herentals from 13-17 July.
Khalifa will be aiming to maintain Egypt's unbroken grip on
the trophy since 2004, when Ramy Ashour won the first of his
record-making two titles, followed by history-repeating
double-title victories by Mohamed El Shorbagy in 2008 and
2009.
 And
it will be Mohamed's brother Marwan El Shorbagy who
is expected to provide Khalifa's stiffest opposition in
Belgium. The 17-year-old from Alexandria is seeded to meet
the title-holder in the final in a repeat of the 2010
championship's semi-final in Ecuador, where Khalifa won in
five games.
Pakistan provides the two 3/4 seeds, Danish Atlas Khan
and Nasir Iqbal, both 17-year-olds from Peshawar.
Players from 19 nations will compete in the 18th staging of
the WSF championships.
