Egypt’s Ashour eyes British Open title defence


Egypt's Ramy Ashour, seen here during a coaching clinic in KL last year, will be defending his British Open squash title starting on Monday in Hull, England.

LONDON (AFP): Ramy Ashour is looking to put an injury-plagued year behind him and become the first Egyptian in 50 years to defend the British Open title in Hull starting on Monday.

The past year has been an uphill battle for the charismatic 26-year-old from Cairo who relinquished his World Open title six months ago because of the latest of many injuries.
