Nouran Gohar is another immensely talented youngster fresh off the Egyptian production line of premier squash players.

She lifted her first Tour title at the Prague Open in December 2013 where she played to her seeding to see off Lucie Fialová to triumph at just 16-years-of-age.

Gohar earned another title the following year at the Irish Open before her superb victory over Omneya Abdel Kawy in the final of the Monte Carlo Classic elevated her into the world's top 20 for the first time.

A superb quarter-final finish at the Texas Open in April 2015 ensured that Gohar would breach the top 15 in the world.[1]

Junior career

Nouran Gohar was always a prominent junior player as she won the prestigious British Junior Open three times: in 2012, 2015, and 2016. She also was a two time World Junior Squash champion, winning two back to back titles in 2015 and 2016.
