Defending champion Ramy withdraws
Egypt’s Ramy Ashour, who in 2007 won the championships on his debut,
has confirmed his withdrawal from the ATCO Super Series Finals –
London 2008.
 Ashour
first rose to prominence in July 2006 when he became the first
player in history to successfully defend the men’s world junior
crown and remarkably the supremely gifted Egyptian has been close to
ruling the squash world for almost a year. He was almost there after
winning the ATCO Super Series Finals in Manchester in August before
injury prevented him from competing in last year's British Open and
World Open.
Having made a welcome and successful return to the World Tour by
winning the Tournament of Champions, PACE Canadian Classic and
Hurghada International, Ashour was widely tipped to reclaim his
Super Series Finals title. However, the charismatic 20-year-old has
been unable to recover fully from a hamstring injury sustained
during the recent Dunlop British Open in Liverpool and his
withdrawal will see England’s former World No.1 Lee Beachill
join a star studded eight man player line-up.
Furthermore, Karim Darwish, who came in as a replacement for Nick
Matthew, has also withdrawn, so the final place is taken by
Malaysia's Ong Beng Hee.

associated with squash in 2005 when he launched the
