King Withdraws From TTI Milwaukee Hong Kong Squash Open 2023

World No.4 Joelle King has been forced to withdraw from the upcoming TTI Milwaukee Hong Kong Squash Open 2023 Platinum event due to injury.

American No.1 Amanda Sobhy will take the place of King as No.4 seed in the fourth Platinum event of the season – which will take place between November 27 – December 3 at the Hong Kong Squash Centre – and will now face one of Amina Orfi or Zeina Mickawy in her opening match.

Belgium’s Nele Gilis moves up to the No.5 seeding position, with a second-round clash against Lucy Beecroft or Kenzy Ayman in store, while England No.1 Georgina Kennedy climbs up to No.6 seed.

Tinne Gilis is now a top-eight seed due to King’s withdrawal and will face one of Nicole Bunyan or Mariam Metwally in her opening match, while Egypt’s Nada Abbas moves into a 9/16 seeding position and is therefore awarded a first-round bye.

King’s replacement in the Platinum-level event is Malaysian No.4 Aira Azman, who will take on Fayrouz Aboelkheir in round one.

Action from the Hong Kong Open 2023 will be available to watch live on SQUASHTV from November 27. For more information on the event, you can visit the PSA website or follow the PSA on X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
