PETALING JAYA: Habiba Mohamed became Egypt’s new squash darling after completing a hat-trick of upsets to win her first World Junior Championship title.

The 15-year-old Habiba who had defeated compatriots - joint third-fourth seed Salma Hany in the quarter-finals, and three-time champion Nour El Sherbini in the semi-finals - was imperious as she fought back to stun second seed Nouran Gouhar in the final.
