Heba grabs Homebase glory
Egyptian teenager Heba El Torky completed an outstanding run
of results when she beat home favourite Rebecca Chiu in the
final of the Homebase Media Open at the Hong Kong Sports Institute
to capture her third WISPA title.
Heba, the world #66 from Alexandria, overcame three higher-seeded
players en route to the title. She beat the experienced Japanese
fourth seed Chinatsu Matsui in the quarter-finals, then overcame
Hong Kong national champion Joey Chan, the second seed, in the
semi-finals.
Chiu had herself beaten Heba's younger sister Nouran in the
semi-finals, but was unable to do the El Torky double as Heba ran
out a 3/1 winner in the final.
 "This
is my third WISPA title, and I am very very happy to win this one,
especially because it was very tough beating Joey and Rebecca in
their own country !:)
"I have changed my club now to Alexandria Sporting Club
and am really enjoying my time there ... I want to thank my parents
for all the effort and support ... My sister and best partner in
almost every thing ... all my coaches Ashraf Hanfy (head coach),
Waleed Mosalamy (fitness coach), Reda Hanafy, Ahmed Ibrahim and Kiki
... of course all the squash partners who really help me improve
(Ahmed Hany, Adel El Zarka, Mo Essam, Abou El Enien, Mehelmy, Hesham
Ossama, Hussien Barakat, Khelo and my cousins) who I didn't have the
chance to thank!"
