Omneya Abdel Kawy of Egypt (front) making a return to Malaysia's Delia Arnold in the second round of the Naza Women's World Championship at the National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil. Delia Arnold lost to Omneya Abdel Kawy with 11-9, 8-11, 9-11, 8-11. FAIHAN GHANI/The Star.

KUALA LUMPUR: It’s hard to stay motivated if you have been in a game for a long time.

That’s why it’s surprising to see 30-year-old Omneya Abdel Kawy still plodding on despite having made her professional squash debut while still in her mid-teens.
