PSA World Tour Men’s Player of the Year

Awarded to the male player who best demonstrated supreme athletic performance and achievement during the season.

Mostafa Asal

Mostafa Asal became the third youngest male player to reach World No.1 when he topped the World Rankings for the first time back in January.

The Raging Bull, who enjoyed a 12-week stay at the summit, claimed four titles during the 2022-23 campaign, including retaining his PSA World Tour Finals crown for a third year in succession.

Diego Elias

Diego Elias created history in April when he became the first South American to reach the top of the World Rankings.

The Peruvian Puma, who finished the season as World No.2, scooped four titles throughout the campaign. Three of those were a Stateside hat-trick when he claimed the J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions, the Motor City Open and the Pittsburgh Open.

Ali Farag

Ali Farag began and ended the season as the World No.1, but a knee injury kept him out of action for a number of events and saw him lose top spot.

But the Egyptian roared back in the second half of the campaign, clinching four titles in a row. The 31-year-old landed his fourth World Championship crown as well as bagging his first-ever British Open title during his hot streak of form.

Victor Crouin

French No.1 Victor Crouin finished the season inside the top ten of the World Rankings, and his first major victory came on home soil when he won the Open de France de Squash.

Crouin went on to lift the Squash on Fire Open title at the beginning of 2023, and was runner-up at three tournaments including the Qatar Classic.

Mohamed ElShorbagy

England No.1 Mohamed ElShorbagy rediscovered some of his best form during the 2022-23 season in which he clinched five trophies.

The Beast kicked off the campaign by taking the Qatar Classic – the first Platinum event of the season – as well as triumphing at the Netsuite Open, the New Zealand Open, the Singapore Open and the Black Ball Squash Open.

PSA World Tour Women’s Player of the Year

Awarded to the female player who best demonstrated supreme athletic performance and achievement during the season.

Nouran Gohar

Like Ali Farag, Nouran Gohar started and closed out the 2022-23 season as the World No.1 and won five trophies.

Gohar, who had a brief spell at World No.2 at the expense of Nour El Sherbini, secured her third U.S. Open crown and was victorious at the El Gouna International for the first time in her illustrious career.

Hania El Hammamy

World No.3 Hania El Hammamy opened her season by triumphing at the Egyptian Open and rose to second in the World Rankings following that success at the Pyramids.

El Hammamy clinched her first-ever Hong Kong Open title in December, and was a semi-finalist at the World Championships, El Gouna International and the World Tour Finals.

Nour El Sherbini

Nour El Sherbini notched her seventh World crown after coming out on top against Nouran Gohar in Chicago, and the World Champion had a brief stint back as the women’s No.1.

The 27-year-old reached six finals from the ten events she competed in during the season, winning five titles. She added another British Open and Tournament of Champions to her impressive trophy haul.

Nele Gilis

Nele Gilis enjoyed her best season yet on the PSA World Tour, finishing the season as World No.6, which saw her become the highest ranked Belgian of all time.

Gilis bagged the Open de France de Squash and Malaysian Open titles, while notching her maiden appearance in a Platinum level final where she took on Nouran Gohar having dispatched Nour El Sherbini in the last four.

Nour El Tayeb

Nour El Tayeb claimed two trophies during the 2022-23 season, taking the opening event of the campaign in the Zed Squash Open.

El Tayeb, who had a spell out injured in the second half of the season, reached the quarter-finals in all but three of her events she competed in. She was victorious at the Manchester Open for the second time in her career, winning the event alongside her husband Ali Farag.
